[Solved] Creating random hints like in other games?

[Allain55X]

Hello hivers! I have seen in many games that random hints appeared every specific time! How do I do this? Pls show the trigger step by step pls.... TY!

1. Open the variable editor and create a string array.
2. Create a trigger that runs on map initialization. Set each of the array elements to a hint. For example:

• Set RandomHint[0] = |cffffcc00Hint|r: This map was made by Allain55X!
• Set RandomHint[1] = |cffffcc00Hint|r: Visit the HiveWorkshop.com for more cool things.

3. Create another trigger that runs every X seconds. You would do something like this:

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Every 30.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: RandomHint[(Random integer number between 0 and 5)]

You would change the 5 in "(Random integer number between 0 and 5)" to the highest array element (total amount of hints).

Here's a simple method so that you don't get the same message twice. When all messages have been displayed, it then resets the list and displays them in random order.

Triggers

• Untitled Trigger 014
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set new[0] = 1
    • Set new[1] = 2
    • Set new[2] = 3
    • Set new[3] = 4
    • // 3 is the index of the last hint
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set new[(1000 + (Integer A))] = new[(Integer A)]
    • Set i1 = 3

• Untitled Trigger 018
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set i = (Random integer number between 0 and i1)
    • // Use hint message instead of Game - display...
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) the text: new[i]
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • i1 Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set new[(Integer A)] = new[(1000 + (Integer A))]
        • Set i1 = 3
      • Else - Actions
        • Set new[i] = new[i1]
        • Set i1 = (i1 - 1)

I used poor variable names, you can use some better ones.

I think Mr Bean's tutorial is more easier but thanks for the help +REP!

Just remember that with mine, the same hint could display a few times in a row. With Maker's tutorial, hints will only be displayed once (as he explained).

Well, im planning the hints to repeat as what you say so your hint is the one I like!

TY mR.Bean very helpful! +REP!

BTW where did you base off the the Random hints? What trigger type?

 

[Lambdadelta]

^ String array to hold the hints? What do you mean by "trigger type"? There is only one trigger type? o.0

The. boolean, quest, quest requirement,,, and more.... you can see it when creating a variable.

 

[defskull]

String variable, array.

 

[Allain55X]

String variable, array.

Already find out! BUT TY! And you help me again +REP!
