[Trigger] Creating random weather effect

[dansaDisco]

I want the triggers to change the weather to a random one of 4 possible.
But it doesn't work

Let me show you the triggers i use first. (they somehow don't work <<)

Roll trigger

• Morning weather roll
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set WeatherRoll[1] = False
    • Set WeatherRoll[2] = False
    • Set WeatherRoll[3] = False
    • Set WeatherRoll[4] = False
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Set WeatherRoll[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)] = True
    • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

(and then i have another one for night, exactly the same but time of day 18.00)

Then i have various weather types, 4 to be precise.

Weather triggers

• heavy Rain roll
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait until (WeatherRoll[1] Equal to (==) True), checking every 1.00 seconds
    • Environment - Turn CurrentWeather Off
    • Environment - Turn Weather[1] On
    • Set CurrentWeather = Weather[1]
    • Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

That's basically how they look.

And then in initialization, i have this:

Initialization

• Map initialization
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Environment - Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect Lordaeron Rain (Heavy)
    • Set Weather[1] = (Last created weather effect)
    • Environment - Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect Lordaeron Rain (Light)
    • Set Weather[2] = (Last created weather effect)
    • Environment - Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect Outland Wind (Light)
    • Set Weather[3] = (Last created weather effect)
    • Trigger - Run heavy Rain roll <gen> (ignoring conditions)
    • Trigger - Run Light rain roll <gen> (ignoring conditions)
    • Trigger - Run Wind roll <gen> (ignoring conditions)
    • Trigger - Run Normal roll <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Now i wonder, what could be the problem? oO

So does any of your weather activate in game?

And, why do you have this at the bottom of the first trigger? There would be no point in repeating it as all it is doing is setting the roll number.

And my final question... How is this:

• Set WeatherRoll[3] = False

Even possible? Variable names do not include [ and this next code you used is also something I have never seen before...

• Set WeatherRoll[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)] = True

Are these your actual triggers or like did you write these in the post?

It's called arrays.

Every heard of em? <<

Oh LOL... dur!!!

Ok then things make a lil bit more sence...

I think your problem is the fact that you are repeating your main event over and over and over... Making it so that you weatherroll[#] is constantly changing every time this trigger is "re run". Try putting in a condition or a wait (condition) making sure that this wont happen.

Morning weather roll
Events
Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
Conditions
Actions
Set WeatherRoll[1] = False
Set WeatherRoll[2] = False
Set WeatherRoll[3] = False
Set WeatherRoll[4] = False
Wait 1.00 seconds
Set WeatherRoll[(Random integer number between 1 and 4)] = True
Trigger - Run (This trigger) (checking conditions)

What about only 1 trigger?

• Weather
  • Events
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 6.00
    • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 18.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Umgebung - Remove Weather_Effect[1]
    • Umgebung - Remove Weather_Effect[2]
    • -------- Remove every weather effect created --------
    • Set Random Numer = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • IF-Conditions
        • Random Numer Equal To 1
      • THEN-Actions
        • Umgebung - Create at Area_U_Want1 <gen> the weather effect Weather_Effect_U_Want1
        • Set Weather_Effect[1] = (Last created weather effect)
        • Umgebung - Turn (Last created weather effect) On
        • -------- Create in all areas weather effect number 1 --------
      • ELSE-Actions
        • none
    • -------- Now make something for random number = 2 3 and 4 --------

You don't need 3 triggers. And you don't need a variable for the weather effects if you use this trigger.

Hope it works, greetz
