How do I store coordinates in array with no repeats?

Hi guys,

So I am spawning objects and setting their coordenates randomly, so far so good, but I don't want them to end up in the same place, therefore if the coordenates repeat, they should be re-rolled untill you find new ones.

Run the project in debug mode, so you can see the coordinates array filling up:

And here is what i am trying that's not working:

Thanks!

I suppose you mean by 'coordinates' floor and room, not x and y.

There are only 4 floors and 2 rooms, total 8 possibility's. Can as well create them all 8 at once, in 2 little nested loops.

Give them an id, floor and room instance variable, and pick them randomly.

I dont understand your code.

Example: '&' means for strings what '+' means for numbers. '&' combines strings (ads a string tot a string). "a"&"b"="ab"

You never stored floor&room in the array, so you will not find it in there too.

You add 1 to guest number, even if that was an illegal combination.

You dont event need an array, you know.

Hey!,

Thanks for your replies. That's an awesome example, but I cannot set room instances in my game, I have to use floor and room coordenates.

I wil try to create all coordinates at the start as you suggest, and then assign them randomly as guests are created.

You can see the array in the debugger.
