Random Skills For Hero

[cheokwai]

I want to give my hero random skills , but unfortunately i dont know how, can anyone tell me

 

[Arhowk]

Add them all to individual arrays like

FirstAbil[1] = Forked Lightning
FirstAbil[2] = Chain Lightning
FirstAbilCount = 2

SecondAbil[1] = Holy Light
SecondAbil[2] = Heal
SecondAbil[3] = Healing Wave
SecondAbilCount = 3

and on hero creation

Unit - Add FirstAbil[Random integer between 1 and FirstAbilCount] to YourUnit
Unit - Add SecondAbil[Random integer between 1 and SecondAbilCount] to YourUnit

@Arhowk: you can manage with only 1 array. Same principle, however since we know the number of indexes for first/second ability etc, it can be like this

AbiArray[0] = HolyLight
blah blah - 5 choices for first
AbiArray[5]= DeathCoil
blah blah -3 choices for second

Then we add it
Add AbiArray [random int between 0 and 4]
Add AbiArray [random int between 5 and 7]

So on and so forth.

Set into variables for example 1 to 3 then at the end Give the variable (random number from 1 to 3) to hero..

If I remember, it's intenger, right? :|

True, but, to make it more clear for op

AbilStart[1]=1
Abil[1] = Holy Light
Abil[2] = Healing Wave

AbilStart[2] = 3
Abil[3] = Forked Lightning
Abil[4] = Chain Lightning
Abil[5] = Finger of Death

AbilStart[3] = 6
Abil[6] = . . .

To simplify, AbilStart[1] = 1 : the [1] part is the # of the abil slot (so first abil is 1, 2nd abil is 2, etc) and the = 1 part is the index of where it starts, which means that since the first abil in the series is Abil[1] the value would be one. AbilStart[2] = 3 because the first ability in the second group is 3.

Unit - Add Ability (Random int from AbilStart[1] to AbilStart[2]) to YourUnit
Unit - Add Ability (Random int from AbilStart[2] to AbilStart[3]) to YourUnit

@doomlord, yeah i know i used two variables, its just easier to add skills faster. Not much memory loss

 

[Doomlord]

Alright. I am just suggesting an alternative Oh and thanks for the clarification for OP. Much appreciated.

All roads lead to Rome after all.

Yes and forgot too that put an Array in the variable to enable integers in a variable.

 

[Arhowk]

All roads are secertly monitored by the NSA..
