Lua math.random

[soul4soul]

i use this code right now

eq = math.random(1,6)
if eq == 1 then
                    doPlayerAddItem(cid, 9927, 1)
                elseif eq == 2 then
                    doPlayerAddItem(cid, 9929, 1)
                elseif eq == 3 then
                    doPlayerAddItem(cid, 9928, 1)
                elseif eq == 4 then
                    doPlayerAddItem(cid, 9931, 1)
                elseif eq == 5 then
                    doPlayerAddItem(cid, 2527, 1)
                elseif eq == 6 then
                    doPlayerAddItem(cid, 7697, 1)
                end

if there any way to simplify it? would something like this work

doPlayerAddItem(cid, math.random({9927,9929,9928,9931,2527,7697}), 1)

local t = {
    [1] = 9927,
    [2] = 9929,
    [3] = 9928,
    [4] = 9931,
    [5] = 2527,
    [6] = 7697,
}
               
doPlayerAddItem(cid, t[math.random(6)], 1)

hmm.. ya that's better then some ugly if statement.thanks for the quick help.

 

[hodleo]

have you seen mock's function?

function choose(...) -- by mock
    local arg = {...}
    return arg[math.random(1,#arg)]
end
 
doPlayerAddItem(cid, choose(9927,9929,9928,9931,2527,7697), 1)

oh!! i actually have. i can believe i forgot about it. even better b/c i have a few pieces of code that needed this.

cyberM here you forget a [1] look

local t = {
    [1] = 9927,
    [2] = 9929,
    [3] = 9928,
    [4] = 9931,
    [5] = 2527,
    [6] = 7697,
}
 
doPlayerAddItem(cid, t[math.random(6)][1], 1)

nope, he forget 1 in math.random, cause now it may return 0 , and 1 comma too much.

local t = {
    [1] = 9927,
    [2] = 9929,
    [3] = 9928,
    [4] = 9931,
    [5] = 2527,
    [6] = 7697
}
 
doPlayerAddItem(cid, t[math.random(1, 6)], 1)

doPlayerAddItem(cid, t[math.random(6)][1], 1)

it's the same thing t[math.random(6)] = t[math.random(6)][1]
there's only 1 value

not really read lua math.random manuals
math.random(6) = math.random(1, 6)
