Random variables - Omenapuu - 10-30-2013

Hi everyone, and happy coding! I'm asking if anyone of you know how to use the RandInt code. I basically know the variables and so, but as I can't name the random int, how to I make an if-else statement about that. Heres an example what im talking about:
--------
if(GetLocalVarInt("sounds") == 1
{
PlayGuiSound("sumthing", 100);
}
----------------
Now I want to make that like it generates a random int, if its 1 it plays something, if 2 if plays something else, and so on. I just don't understand how Huh

    else if(RandInt(1,8) == 1){PlaySoundAtEntity("", "scare_steps_big.snt", "Player", 0.40, false);} 

This is how I used them, if that gives an idea of how they work? Nothing else required.


Thanks! I totally forgot else if statements..

You can totally 'name' a Random number, simply by creating a variable, then assigning to it the random number that RandInt or RandFloat gives you

Code:
int myRandomInt = RandInt(1, 8);

if (myRandomInt > 4)
{
    // do stuff
}

This will also allow you to use the super awesome Switch.. Case statements, to make a bunch of if..else if.. else if.. etc look nice

Code:
int myRandomInt = RandInt(1, 3);

switch (myRandomInt)
{
    case 1: // do stuff if random number is 1
        break;
    case 2: // do stuff if random number is 2
        break;
    case 3: // do stuff if random number is 3
        break;
}

You can read about switch..case statements here, under the 'Conditions' heading
