I Am Making A Magic Show Map And I Want The Magician To Hide Behind One Out Of 3 Rocks, I Want The Place To Be Random (So I Have 3 Regions And Want Him To Go To A Random One) & I Want To Person Watching It To Press 1, 2 Or 3 Corresponding To The Rock His Behind, Is That Possable?

BTW, If I Cant Do The Random Thing Is It Possible To Make The 1, 2 Or 3 Thing, I Cant Find The Trigger :nono: Im A Newbie Who Knows Vb lol...:(

THANK YOU IF YOU KNOW HOW

Ralconn	I dont know if you can even do this but you could make a variable and set it to a random number 1-3. Then set it to the certain rocks depending on what number you get. (if that makes any sense lol)

Please Don't Type Like This Ever Again. Thank You.

And yes, this is trivially easy to do - I'm a little surprised you need help on it. All of these are Actions:

Set variable = random number between 1-3
Wait .02 seconds
If variable = 1
Then Unit - Move (instantly) Magician to Region 1
If variable = 2
Then Unit - Move (instantly) Magician to Region 2
If variable = 3
Then Unit - Move (instantly) Magician to Region 3

Random number is under the organizer of Math, btw - scroll up and down the list and you'll find it right off. The wait is pretty important - if you don't allow at least a brief pause, the game won't have time to generate a random number and check it by the time the If/Thens come up. You won't notice the .2 pause anyway, but if you don't do it, you'll always get the same result.

This is how i'd do it:

Make a region-array of size 3, and these triggers:

Code:

Declare regions
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Regions[1] = [color=red]Region 001 <gen>[/color]
        Set Regions[2] = [color=red]Region 002 <gen>[/color]
        Set Regions[3] = [color=red]Region 003 <gen>[/color]

Code:

Magician moves behind rock
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Unit - Order ([color=red]Unit_Magician[/color]) to Move To (Center of Regions[(Random integer number between 1 and 3)])

Code:

Player Types String
    Events
        Player - [color=red]Player 1[/color] types a chat message containing <Empty String> as A substring
    Conditions
    Actions
        If ((Entered chat string) Equal to 1) then do ([color=red]something[/color]) else do ([color=red]something[/color])
        If ((Entered chat string) Equal to 2) then do ([color=red]something[/color]) else do ([color=red]something[/color])
        If ((Entered chat string) Equal to 3) then do ([color=red]something[/color]) else do ([color=red]something[/color])

Swap out the red fields.

DEADMAN 13	I Needed Help Cause I Never Had To Do Random Things And Never Red The Array Tut, lol. BTW What Don't You Want Me To Do, The Caps On Every Word Or The Huge...Red....LETTERS! lol
