Need help with script (SOLVED)

[mzx987]

Just wanted to ask this question about scripting:

What did I do wrong with this string of code?

Code: (Select All)

SetEntityActive("c_" RandInt(1, 50), true);

I wanna make it so it makes a random entity with the numbers 1-50 to activate in the room at random with "c_" as the prefix.

That command doesn't spawn entities, it activates already spawned ones. As for the functionality, I'm not sure how you'd do it.

Sry. I wuz trying to say I want them to spawn the de-activated ones.

Oh, so you've spawned 50 entities and want them to be activated at random? There's probably a way to do it, but someone else will have to chip in on that

Darn... I wish someone can help...

There is a way, but it is complicated and will involve many values.

its easy!

Code: (Select All)

int x == RandInt(1 , 50);
SetEntityActive("c_" +x, true);

Try that :p

int x == RandInt(1 , 50);
SetEntityActive("c_" +x, true);

It also depends on what the computer does when it sets an entity that has already been set active. Thus meaning that it is more complicated. :3

EDIT: After a series of trial and error, I mutated your code to something different. Although, the items don't seem to spawn for some reason...

EDIT 2: I finally fixed it. Thanks for the help.


For people who are interested,

Code: (Select All)

SetEntityActive("c_"+GetLocalVarInt("RandomNumber"), true);
