detecting random integer

[FlexFellovic]

Hello guys,

here are my triggers for random weather, my problem is that i want detect which weather it selected and make action with it.I mean when it selects snow it will slows all players etc.. I will glad if u post triggers but dont post them without description , i want to learn 'em, why and when to use which thingz etc. ty </3

    • Environment - Create at (Playable map area) the weather effect Northrend Snow (Heavy)

To get what weather is currently up, you would save the chosen integer in an integer variable:

• Set TempInteger = (Random integer number between 0 and 3)
• Environment - Turn pocasi[TempInteger] On

U mean something like this ?

• pocasi zmena
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Environment - Turn pocasi[(Integer A)] Off
    • Set pocasi_integer = (Random integer number between 0 and 3)
    • Environment - Turn pocasi[(Random integer number between 0 and 3)] On

And that "weather effects" should be executed how?
Might it be something like this?

• pocasi zmena
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Environment - Turn pocasi[(Integer A)] Off
    • Set pocasi_integer = (Random integer number between 0 and 3)
    • Environment - Turn pocasi[(Random integer number between 0 and 3)] On
    • If (pocasi_integer Equal to 1) then do turn on mlha else do If and do it 4 times.

Or is there better method?

Don't i just did used same trigger? I just ask'd how to apply spells & buffs into each random weather saved into variable.

 

[Heaven Editor]

I just ask'd how to apply spells & buffs into each random weather saved into variable.

Turn on another trigger that is also repeats every interval to apply buff to units in the whole weather area.
Sorry I cannot use MUI, it was a very long time since I used it.

this wont be real problem , i got problem in executing that trigger based on random integer choice

 

[Karzama]

These buffs will effect all units in the map right? If so, I'd create a dummy with 3 different auras for each weather effect. You can set the aura to hit the whole map, make endurance aura effect everyone and have a negative effect for a global slow.

When you change the effects disable the other 2 auras leaving one active. Could work...

• pocasi zmena
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Environment - Turn pocasi[pocasi_integer] Off
    • Set pocasi_integer = (Random integer number between 0 and 3)
    • Environment - Turn pocasi[pocasi_integer] On

Also, when you do:
Set pocasi_integer = (Random integer number between 0 and 3)
Environment - Turn pocasi[(Random integer number between 0 and 3)] On
That means that the integer can be set to any value between 0 and 3 and that the environment is also changed depending on a random value between 0 and 3.
You have no way to make sure that both values are the same, so you have to save the returned value of the random generator and use that value over and over again instead of asking for a random number over and over again.

About the spells, you can turn off one aura and turn on another aura by adding/removing the ability from a unit.
You can place those abilities in an ability array variable and remove the one of the current integer value before you update the integer value and add the ability of the newly generated integer value (the same way how the changing of the environment works).

Sorry I cannot use MUI, it was a very long time since I used it.

Please, be a nice guy and call it GUI.
GUI = Graphical User Interface (often used as an abbreviation for the GUI Trigger Editor)
MUI = Multi Unit Instanceable (meaning that a specific thing can be used by multiple units at the same time)

Okey. I might mixed some of my understanding between GUI and MUI. I thought MUI is usually relevant to GUI. So, to post trigger must include MUI at best (not for this case). I am just Jass person now. When I say MUI, people would know it is for GUI? I don't know. Implementing MUI is usually for GUI as no it is no really an issue for jass. Isn't GUI too straightforward to understand? Who couldn't understand GUI even left it for a decade? It is MUI that I left for a long time. Obviously...

this wont be real problem , i got problem in executing that trigger based on random integer choice

I suggest create weather after the random integer chose and save environment variable to the type of the created weather. I use this way in my map Revenants of Ruins.

could u post that part of the trigger here , please?

Mine is in Jass and struct. Wait. I just change your based on your code.

thanks you lad , can u explain me Random_Index variable?
Or post a test map?

 

[Heaven Editor]

thanks you lad , can u explain me Random_Index variable?

Random_Index is integer type with default 0

I would use what wietlol suggested and then compare integer values. It leaks a lot less

Leak is not a problem if you handle it. He should address it for location. Refer to Things that Leak. Well, that idea use a lot of object variables. Unless it is not your concern.
