int r = rand()%30;

if(r < -10){
changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW1"));
} else if(r > 10){

Any help would be great to finish up this scipts thanks in advance..

O Ilusionista · Sep 6, 2017

Your code is using just 2 animations, this is why it doesn't works.

You can adapt my item script for this, using switch for each case. Its here at tutorial section.

I can write that code but it will still takes time before I can Do it. And I would do prefer to make it using arrays.

that would be a huge help O

Im stuck when it comes to script and would like this in the game so that its a new experience each time.. Especially because i made the helpers op and want to make them rare... I knew that it needed a bit more to it for the script part but didn't know how to script it..

bravo you say your not good at scripting but you have done a fantastic job with this its very similar with a entity I use in my mod so I tried to fix it up for you try my version and see if that works for you remember its untested and again great job.

load      madroxi
load      MagmaI
load      meggani
load      NamorI
load      sunspoti
load      surgei
load      x23i


anim   idle
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self"); //get calling entity
int random = (openborvariant("elapsed_time")/2)%16+1; //random number from 1 to 16
    if(frame == 1)
	{
      if(random == 1){  //if random number is 1
          changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL")); //move to freespecial
	  }else{ //if random number is not 1
          changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FREESPECIAL" + random)); //move to freespecial matching the random number
	  }
	}

ty will try this very soon

O Ilusionista · Sep 8, 2017

Cool way to get random numbers, Malik. But won't it get negative numbers too?

not with my random script

esn23 · Sep 8, 2017

I can say that this script is wonderful and works perfectly so far.. I just need to test if it works on enemies dropping stuff too.. Thanks again for this it helped out a lot

msmalik681 · Sep 8, 2017

Glad i could help and remember @cmd commands can not be used in the same animation you used a @script command.

O Ilusionista · Sep 8, 2017

I am not trying to nitpick you, I am just trying to understand this:

int random = (openborvariant("elapsed_time")/2)%16+1;

What exactly prevents the negative values here?

Anyway, great work.

msmalik681 said:

Yes, you can. WD had fixed it some builds ago. I use it on my mod.

msmalik681 · Sep 9, 2017

Its because i am not using the built in rand () fuction this uses:

time ÷ user_set_limit + 1

But due to strange bug the time has to be shared by 2 first thats why that part is in brackets.

And i could have swore when white dragon added that feature DC took it right back out as it broke something. Maybe i remembered wrong.

O Ilusionista · Sep 9, 2017

Thanks for the explanation.
But what about the float values you will have here? Using time / 2 can give you some float values, not integers.
For example, 35/2 = 17.5. And there is not round function on that code.

msmalik681 · Sep 10, 2017

Maybe its because i declared it as a integer or when i used modules.
