Random number

hi. a quick question.
if i use the random integer in 3 places in the same trigger. Does it use the same number or does it make up a new one each time?

atm i want it to randomly create 3 diffrent units depending on the number

if (random integer number between 1 and 100) > 66)
then
create fire guardian
else if random integer number between 1 and 100) > 33)
then
create ice guardian
else
create lightning guardian

If you want to have it be the same random number you have to make a interger varible and set it to a random # and use the varible in place of were you have random numbers in your trigger.

Right now its using a new random number each time you use (random number between 1 and 100)

yeah i figured it out.

I came to think of a way to do it without making a variable.

if(random integer number between 1 and 100 > 66)
then
create fire guardian
else if(random integer number between 1 and 100 > 50)
then
create ice guardian
else
create lightning guardian

since it makes a new number on the "else if", this should give the same results as declearing a variable

only without a space

elseif

not else if

and declaring locals is local <variable type> <variable name>

That seems rather inconvenient. Why not rewrite the trigger like this instead?
(And I'm typing this off the top of my head)

Make an integer variable called RandomUnit.

Event - Periodic Event (Every __ seconds)
Conditions - None OR a check of how units are alive owned by player.
Action: Set Variable (RandomUnit) = (Math - Random number between 1 and 100)

And the rest of it, just put in ifs
like.. sample would be

If (Randomunit) = X (put your own number) then create 1 Blah unit for player (BLAH) at random location or wutever u want.

Its more efficient than to continue making random variables.
