random player selection

[Blackhoof]

you know in games like Parasite and Werewolf transilvannia how you have onw player as the hidden evil guy and the rest have to find out who he is and kill him?

how would you make something like that?

You need an integer condition (Math - Random Number). ''If random number between 0 and 12 is X, then do actions''.

 

[GhostThruster]

Or this:

• Actions
  • Set EvilPlayer = (Random player from (All players))

 

[Pharaoh_]

The same to GhostThruster's is this:

• Set Random = (Random integer between 1 and 12)
• Set Player = (Player(Random))

It's the player - convert player index to player.

 

[GhostThruster]

Yeah, but Pharaoh_, what happens if Player, lets say 12, isn't 'playing'?

 

[Pharaoh_]

He will definitely need a condition for that. Your way also doesn't detect if a player is playing, because you pick a player from the default player group of all players. "All players" group counts non-playing players and non-user players too.

Anyway, in case he needs it, the conditions are Player Slot comparison and Player Controller comparison.

 

[GhostThruster]

Well, like you said, he configure the conditions. So it could be 'All Players controlled by a User', or 'All Players matching Player = Is Playing'.
I still think my version is easier to configure, though it might be coz I'm lazy.
