Solved with and Array.

Ok, I have done more research and have come up with an answer.

Thanks to kittiewan and the tutorial she provided here:

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/315/generating-random-numbers-without-duplicates

The reason you want to use an Array is simple.

To reduce the amount of code and increase the number of variations when a sequence is generated.

If you happened look at the first example using The Brute Force Method

I coded in only 3 variations based on the random number that was generated,

but

in actuality there are 6 different possibilities. being : 1,2,3 ,, 1,3,2 ,, 2,3,1 ,, 2,1,3 ,, 3,2,1 ,, 3,1,2

Could I have coded those different possibilities in? of course, but what a hassle.

Anyway:

Here is the image of how I adjusted her code to my needs.

and here is the capx:

It sounds like you are confusing collisions with an object that has a solid behavior.

MadSpy,

Sure that would work too. :-p

Any Array methods........ anyone

Thanks A0Nasser,

I was writing this ( below) as you were posting an answer....

Alright, so I thought I had to use an Array

but I found a way to do it without and Array.

If there is someone out there who knows how to do this with an Array,

please post that method below.

Non Array method: Lets call it THE BRUTE FORCE METHOD :

RE:

Image:

Event #2 = System> Trigger Once /// <<<or this could be put into the 'On start of layout' line as well >>>

Action = System > (Global & local variables) Set value

Event #3, 4, 5 = System> (Global & local variables) Compare variable ///

Action = (Sprite) > Set position

Again,

if someone has a method via an Array, please post.

I have searched the tutorials and forums for an answer to this question and I could not find a solution.

So if you know of a tut, or an answer elsewhere, kindly post it in the reply.

I have 3 objects in a layout.

Sprite 1 at 100, 200

Sprite 2 at 300, 200

Sprite 3 at 500, 200

as seen below,

I just want to arrange them in random order on start of layout.

If you are able, please provide a capx.

Much much appreciated.

Thanks

Just in case the capx is lost in space at some time in the future I decided to post a tutorial,

because I think this info is very useful

Hi

I need some help with Arrays.

Are you still available to help out?

Ed has made a tutorial here

https://www.udemy.com/construct-2-mobil ... ization/#/

Again Thanks. MUCH Appreciated

2*floor(random(32)

Thanks DUTOIT that works.

2*floor(random(32)

I never heard of floor being used before, so I googled it.

Wikipedia:

In mathematics and computer science, the floor and ceiling functions map a real number to the largest previous or the smallest following integer, respectively. More precisely, floor(x) = \lfloor x\rfloor is the largest integer not greater than x and ceiling(x) = \lceil x \rceil is the smallest integer not less than x.[1]

Again Thanks.

Hi

I am working with the formula int(random(0,64)) for example,

but

I would like only even numbers to be generated.

Anyone out there know the equation that will work in C2?

I have already installed a 'Brute Force' correction method via

comparing two values and upping by one the number if an odd value is generated

for example::: if YYYY equals 7 add 1

this means

for the above int(random(0,64)), I need 32 checks to correct for an odd number.

I was wondering if there was a actual formula that generates only Even numbers?

Thanks for looking.

OMG,

Thanks you blackhornet

Recently, I really try to figure out the problems by myself

( as I got scolded by members early on for asking for help to early )

but after 2.5 hours of pulling my hair out I decided I better ask for help.

I somehow thought (I knew it) that there was a simple explanation.

(I need to learn Arrays)

Again Thanks!

SOLVED !

Please help determine if a problem is a bug:

So here is the situation.

I duplicate a layout, for example, I duplicate Layout 1 which is using Event Sheet 1.

The new duplicated layout is named Layout 2, which I direct to use the same event sheet, Event Sheet 1.

Correct me if I am wrong, but shouldn't Layout 2 be and act exactly the same as Layout 1?

If you look at the capx in the link below

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57899112/MemMatchTut.zip

Layout 1 acts normally for me,

BUT

if I duplicate the Layout as described above,

Layout 2 only shows the same first card under each card and

never changes, every card is a match, (the same first card)

Is this a bug, my computer, or something else?

Please help.
