player random attack

[acidicburn83]

does anyone know how to create a player random attack, in other words - you press attack and it chooses one from freespecial, freespecial2 or freespeacial3 ???

This probably won't work, but maybe you could try...

com a2 freespecial
com a2 freespecial2
com a2 freespecial3

Hey, could work?

Yep, that's how to do it.
Aside of playing with rand value, we can also modify the possibility range to control which attack has higher chance.

int r = rand()%30;
      if( r > 20){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW9"));
      } else if( r < -20){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW4"));
      }

In this example, the chance to perform FOLLOW9 or FOLLOW4 is only about 1/6.

int r = rand()%30;
      if( r > 5){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW9"));
      } else if( r < -5){
        changeentityproperty(self, "animation", openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW4"));
      }

In this example, the chance to perform FOLLOW9 or FOLLOW4 is about 5/12.

I dont think random function is that random, i get sometimes 80% more of the same results and some i never get, i have 7 remaps but only 4 appear and the other 3 never appear, not even once and i tried many many times.

I had this problem too but  thought I was just bad at making good random values.

as far as I know, thanks to what a coder friend of mine said, its C fault. Random in C language is kinda weird.

i remember when i was at university i always used the randomize() function because it uses numbers from system clock to avoid repeat the same starting numbers the random() function
i dont know in openbor how it works

Yeah, same as I am. It looks like every time level starts sequence of "random" numbers is same.

My friend says that "In C, the Random seed must be updated often, or you would get not so random numbers. This happens thanks to the clock on the moment of the execution. If you are on a momemnt with a high utilization rate, the chance of get a low number increases"
