Random Start

[Endless]

How would i make a random start point like if i wanted to randomly start in one of 4 places, how would i do that?

This is probably not the best way of doing this but it should do the trick.

Activation:

[NameOfGuy,Startpoint1,Startpoint2,Startpoint3,Startpoint4] exec "startpoint.sqs"

[Endless]

For Startpoint1,Startpoint2,Startpoint3,Startpoint4 should those be markers?

Game Logics.

@The real Armstrong:

_guy = _this select 0
_GLpos1 = _this select 1
_GLpos2 = _this select 1
_GLpos3 = _this select 1
_GLpos4 = _this select 1

canÂ't work ...

@Endless
change above into

_guy = _this select 0
_GLpos1 = _this select 1
_GLpos2 = _this select 2
_GLpos3 = _this select 3
_GLpos4 = _this select 4

and the script should work right ...

Ok this is what i have. I have the sqs file in the mission that im working ons folder. I have a soldier named end. and 4 game logics in different places with the names Startpoint1-4. Then I have a trigger and in the "On Activation" line i have
 [end,Startpoint1,Startpoint2,Startpoint3,Startpoint4] exec "startpoint.sqs"

And its not working, i start where i place my soldier in the editor.

Was a bit tired.

@ Endless: Press F2 and drag a line between the guy and the marker, never used this myself but it would do the trick cause LCD knows this shit.

EDIT: What da f00k? removed the message when I answerd u? U're evil ;D

Code: [Select]

_num = random 5
_num = _num - (_num mod 1)

_num is now a whole integer, so you don't need <= to check it, and you can use == if you feel like it.
