[SCRIPT] Check if 4 local int variables all carry different values?

[HappyMatt12345]

PHP Code: (Select All)

SetLocalVarInt("Area1Num", RandInt(1, 9));
SetLocalVarInt("Area2Num", RandInt(1, 9));
SetLocalVarInt("Area3Num", RandInt(1, 9));
SetLocalVarInt("Area4Num", RandInt(1, 9)); 


This code will generate 4 numbers between 1 and 9. There's no guarantee that these will be different numbers, so you need to make sure they are.

A quick and dirty way would be changing the ranges to for example 1-3, 4-5, 6-7 and 8-9, however that would give it a fairly clear pattern.

I might've done something like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

for(int i = 1; i <= 4; i++) // Loops 4 times
{
    int random = RandInt(1, 9); // Generate a random value
    
    while(RandomValueExists(random)) // If value has been generated before
    {
        random = RandInt(1, 9); // Try to generate another
    }

    SetLocalVarInt("Area"+i+"Num", random); // Set the value
} 


PHP Code: (Select All)

bool RandomValueExists(int value)
{
    for(int i = 1; i <= 4; i++)
    {
        if(value == GetLocalVarInt("Area"+i+"Num")) return true;
    }
    return false;
} 


Adding in a debug message after the setter gives me this:

Thank you, this works and is more compact than an if statement with a ton of conditions. I need to learn more about utilizing variables and return statements clearly.
