Randomness

[Galbuu]

Is there a way to set something up so it chooses a random case? Gah, so hard to find words for it. Here, something like this.

Code: Select all

RandomNumber(1,5);
{
case 1: var vNam = "one";
case 2: var vNam = "two";
case 3: var vNam = "three";
case 4: var vNam = "four";
case 5: var vNam = "five";
}

I really don't want to use ifs because I plan to have a lot of cases.

Code: Select all

var randomNum = RollDice( 1, 6, 0 );
var vName = "";
switch( randomNum )
{
case 1: vName = "Batman"; break;

...

case 6: vName = "Dr Freeze"; break;
}

That should do it. RollDice( numberDice, numberFaces, numberToAdd ) is the information you need.

You can also use the following to get a random number:

Code: Select all

var randomNum = RandomNumber( 1, 6 );
