Even and odd numbers

Hi there!

I am running a For loop for creating sheeps in every 0.5 sek. But Half of the times I want to create another kind of sheep.

I was thinking that maybe I could use modulus and divied in 2 to get to see if the integer being "for-looped" is currently Even or Odd. But it doesn't seem to work..

PHP Code:


		
			
For each (Integer A) from 0 to 80, do (Actions)

    Loop - Actions

        Wait 0.25 seconds

        Unit - Create 1 Thihi Sheep for Neutral Hostile at (Random point in MiniGameCheapSheep <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

            If - Conditions

                ((Integer A) mod 2) Equal to 2

            Then - Actions

                Unit - Create 1 Evil Sheep for Neutral Hostile at (Random point in MiniGameCheapSheep <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in MiniGameCheapSheep <gen>) and do (Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to (Random point in MiniGameCheapSheep <gen>))

            Else - Actions

                Do nothing

thats how it loks right now...

thanks.

Please don't use those colors again, thats too hard to read.

Create a loop, for your if then use a IF integer > 40 THEN
Create sheep (type1)
Else (it'd be < 40)
Create sheep (type2)

That's a basic outline, the specifics I believe you can handle.

[edit]
Er... This should work for your purposes. Modify the values as needed.

Actiobs:
For each (Integer A) from 0 to 80, do (Actions)
If ((Random Integer number between 1 and 2) Equal to 1) then do (Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building degrees) else do (Unit - Create 1 Rifleman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building degrees)

Change values as needed.

Mighty3k	Hmm.. that could work.. but it wouldn't serve my purpose 100%. I wan the "Evil Sheeps" to be created at a specifik time. Which is every time Integer A is an even number. I use to to like this in PHP when I want every second row in a table in another color for example. I think that it should work^^

Cubasis	Mighty, Use [code] instead. But your problem lies in the modulo Comarison: 3 % 2 = 1 4 % 2 = 0 It's never "2", so compare it with either 0 or 1. Cubasis

Mighty3k	Oh.. Hmm.. You'r right! I think I didn't think enough :P
