[SCRIPT] Furniture - messing up and random filling

[Mackiiboy]

Yea, there is probably many different ways to generate random entities. I have figured out one way to make it possible with a short, simple script:

Code: (Select All)

void OnStart()
{
    RandomEntityGenerator();
}

void RandomEntityGenerator()
{
    SetLocalVarString("entity_1", "butcher_knife.ent");  
    // entity type #1
    
    SetLocalVarString("entity_2", "book01.ent");              
    // entity type #2
    
    SetLocalVarString("entity_3", "tinderbox.ent");          
    // entity type #3
    
    int afEntTypeAmount = 3;      
    // amount of different entities
    
    int afSpawnAmount = 5;        
    // amount of entities to be spawned (should be same as amount of script areas)

    for(int i=1;i<=afSpawnAmount;i++)
    {
        int entType = RandInt(1, afEntTypeAmount);
        CreateEntityAtArea("entity_"+i, GetLocalVarString("entity_"+entType), "SpawnArea_"+i, false);  
        // spawns an entity type at SpawnArea_i
        
        string message = "Entity has spawned! Type: "+entType;
        AddDebugMessage(message, false);
    }
}

You can simply add more entity types by adding more LocalVarStrings, remember to name the strings with the correct name and update the integer for the amount of different entities.
You can also add more script areas in your map, they should be named: (SpawnArea_i), where i is the index. Do not forget to update the integer for the amount of entities to be spawned. You can rotate the script areas if you want the entities to spawn with different angles.

There is probably better ways to spawn random entities, but this is one, simple and possible way to do it
.

Also I wonder if there's a way to generate random stuff like books, clothes, bottles etc inside the drawers, desktop's and cabinets by script.
