This code supose to make a random hero, but it doens't.Every time it's get exactly the same number and same hero.I do no what to do,
Thanks At All,

It is getting random, test map is not.
File -> Preferences -> Test Map -> Untick "Used Fixed Random Seed".

Here's a good method of not getting the same hero twice:

• Actions
  • Set random = (Random integer number between 1 and MAX)
  • Set pick = Bonus[random]
  • Unit - Create units[pick]
  • Set units[pick] = units[MAX]
  • Set MAX = (MAX - 1)

@Maker
By using that algorithm, ain't that method disturbs the original order of the array (not that this does not appeal to the thread's topic) ?

Let's say we have 5 values from a single array;
Number[1] = 1
Number[2] = 2
...
Number[5] = 5

The order would be: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Let's take your algorithm into actions and let's say the random is 3, therefore;
Number[3] is 3, right ?

Then;
Number[3] = Number[5] (since 5 is the max)

The order now would be;
1, 2, 5, 4, 5.

Then;
Max = Max - 1

The order now would be;
1, 2, 5, 4.

Is this the correct tracing of values, right ?

 

[Maker]

^Yes, that is how it works.

May be this "system-ling" could be of help.

@Starquizer, using the method I posted, it could be as simple as this. Your method does unnecessary loops.

Trigger

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Initializes desired numbers --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set itaken[((Integer A) + 16)] = (Integer A)
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Randomizes the order of numbers --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set i = (Random integer number between (Integer A) and 16)
        • Set itaken[(Integer A)] = itaken[(i + 16)]
        • Set itaken[(i + 16)] = itaken[((Integer A) + 16)]
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- Prints the numbers --------
    • -------- -------------------------------------------------- --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 16, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) for 30.00 seconds the text: (String(itaken[(Integer A)]))

@Maker, awesome, thanks

I just want to share to you guys how to remove an element from an array without disturbing its order (but I guess it won't be used in this case - since order does not matter in your case - perhaps some other time ?)

• Setup
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Number[1] = 1
    • Set Number[2] = 2
    • Set Number[3] = 3
    • Set Number[4] = 4
    • Set Number[5] = 5
    • Set Max = 5

• Remove Element
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Random = (Random integer number between 1 and Max)
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (|cffffcc00 + ((String(Random)) + |r))
    • Set Max = (Max - 1)
    • For each (Integer LoopingInteger) from Random to Max, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Number[LoopingInteger] = Number[(LoopingInteger + 1)]
    • For each (Integer LoopingInteger) from 1 to Max, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(Number[LoopingInteger]))

This will remove an element from an array without disturbing its order.

@HesitationSnow
This is My problem!Thanks at all!
@Maker && @defskull && @Starquizer
The solutions you proposed are exelent, may i change my system.Thanks at all!


+Rep all you guys
