eliminating a value from choose

I have a NPC that chooses 1 of 4 directions

0=(right)

90(down)

180(left)

270(up)

If NPC has chosen one of these already how do I eliminate it from the next choose expression.

I've given the NPC a "lastdirectionpicked" value I don't know the expression to take away the

set "directionmovement" to choose(0,90,180,270)

Thanks in advance

Start of layout

Set "lastDirectionPicked" to "0"

do you trigger condition

set "chooseDirection" to "0,90,180,270"

(reset all possible choices)

set "chooseDirection" to replace("chooseDirection", "lastDirectionPicked", "")

(remove the last direction from those choices)

set "directionMovement" to tokenat("chooseDirection", int(random(3)), ",")

(choose a direction from the ones left at random)

set "lastDirectionPicked" to "directionMovement"

(keep track of direction just taken)

thanks ethan, not sure i understand but ill give it a go :)

I once written an expression to do exactly that. Overkill nested choose FTW !

choose(NPC.lastdirectionpicked = 0 ? choose(90, 180, 270) : 0, NPC.lastdirectionpicked = 90 ? choose(0, 180, 270) : 90, NPC.lastdirectionpicked = 180 ? choose(0, 90, 270) : 180, NPC.lastdirectionpicked = 270 ? choose(0, 90, 180) : 270)
