can anyone see anything wrong with this? its suppose to pick a random # and then turn on a trigger and ping a spot Code:
Actions
Set rnd = (Random integer number between 1 and 7)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
rnd Equal to 1
r1 Equal to False
Then - Actions
Trigger - Turn on Get Gem <gen>
Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 017 <gen>) for 15.00 seconds, using a Flashy ping of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)
Set r1 = True
Skip remaining actions
Else - Actions
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
rnd Equal to 2
r1_Copy Equal to False
Then - Actions
Trigger - Turn on Get Gem Copy <gen>
Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 019 <gen>) for 15.00 seconds, using a Flashy ping of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)
Set r1_Copy = True
Skip remaining actions
Else - Actions
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

I don't see exactly why do you have this in the trigger: Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions) Wouldn't this kind of make the trigger run itself over and over and over again if, for example, r1 was false? Otherwise, you could do this with a lot less copy&pasting if you used arrays&loops. |

i added that so it wouldent do the same number twice |

Yeah, but, see, what happens when, for example, r1 is flase, is that, when the trigger runs, it sees that it is false, and does the "else - actions". Well, "else - actions" require the trigger to run itself again, and we have the same situation, again. This can go up to infinity, crashing the game, stuff like that. |

youääl have to move every consecutive if/then/else into the else fork of the last if, and remove the run trigger. but you should really consider using loops and arrays, as anitarf suggested. just check the forums how to use them. |

r1 is set to false..... but get this Code:
** If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) ** else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
rnd Equal to 1 <-is true
r1 Equal to False <-is true
Then - Actions <-then it will run these
Trigger - Turn on Get Gem <gen>
Cinematic - Ping minimap for (All players) at (Center of Region 017 <gen>) for 15.00 seconds, using a Flashy ping of color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%)
Set r1 = True <-sets r1 to True makeing this condition false thus in turn doing the Else actions
Skip remaining actionssee what i meen? |

Ok, I made a mistake, read the trigger too fast. But, what if r1 is true, not false? Then the things happen that I was explaining earlier: Code:
Else - Action
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions) |

thats if the randome # generated is = to the number of the coresponding actions Code:
Set rnd = (Random integer number between 1 and 7) <<Sets the random #
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
rnd Equal to 1 <<<the random # has to be = to this # for it to do these actions
r1 Equal to False
Then - Actions
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Else - Actions
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
rnd Equal to 2 <<<but if the random # =2 then it will do these actions am i right or wrong becuse this is where i think my problem is
r1_Copy Equal to False
Then - Actions
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Else - Actions
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)
YOU ARE A GOLDEN GOD!!!! YOU HELPED ME FIND MY PROBLEM... i think one min and let me test it |

That doesn't matter, if r1 is true, the trigger will rerun itself no matter what random number is selected (because the else actions run the moment one of the conditions isn't true); so the trigger will just keep reruning itself... Gah, enough of this, just tell us what and when you want the trigger to do exactly, and post the rest of the trigger (conditions&actions). |

Yes i fixed my problem thnk you for helping me tho |
