Well this is a simple but asked for little template.
It is a random integer generator that is very easy to use. You call the function and give it a minimum and maximum integer value.
Then you call the other function to return the randomized integers to do whatever you want with.
I know this is easy to do however i believe it is useful as a template.
This can be used for a ton of things the list is just about endless.
This can be used as a random non repeating hint generator. You set your hints in an array then set the random integers to it. ( example below)
It can be used as a random hero pick with non repeating heroes being picked for the players.
It has plenty of good uses.
Anything that needs a random non repeating integer set this will do it.
Thanks for the name magtheridon96

PurgeandFire: Good stuff. Useful.
The variable names are a bit awkward, usually GUI variables are Start Case e.g. RandomIntegerVariable, rather than camelCase. It is okay though. Prefixes would also be nice. :D But it is...

That sounds good I can change the name. I couldn't think of anything. It just randomized a set of integers. So that's what I called it. I can't edit it at the moment will edit it later tho.
it provides a random integer set. basically you give a minimum and maximum values and it returns those integers in a random order.
Take random hints for example. Say you have 10 hints that you want displayed. The hints are in an array indexed from 1 to 10. ( lets call it hintArray[]) You don't want them to repeat. Well you use this system by giving a minimum and maximum value.
So we give a 1 and 10.
Then you use the loop that returns it and set an integer array that you don't overwrite. ( lets call it hintArrayRandom[])
You run the trigger to generate. Then you put this in the loop. integerLoop is the looping integer.
Custom script: set udg_hintArrayRandom[ udg_integerLoop] = GenerateRandomIntegersReturn()
Now you use an integer to count when a hint is given. ( lets call it hintCounter)
So we do this.
Game message - Display text hintArray[hintArrayRandom[hintCounter]]
Set hintCounter = hintCounter + 1
now your hints will be in a random order and won't repeat.
as in if you have 10 hints then it will run through those 10 hints b4 it repeats.
The set of numbers you give it will never repeat. Try the test map just type in a number no dash it will then display them with a game message in a random order that won't repeat.
Example: the pic has 20 numbers being displayed at the moment
