Tfs 1.2 math.random hours

[president vankk]

Hi folks! Could someone help me with my new script?

It is suppost to works like if it is 20th of the month then between 9am to 1p.m will broadcast a message, a did a little shit, check out.

local hours = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    if os.date("%d", os.time()) == 20 then
        -- math.random between hours
        -- broadcast a message
    return true
end

Thanks.

os.date returns a string, so you need to convert it to a number.

local hours = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    if tonumber( os.date("%d", os.time()) ) == 20 then
        -- math.random between hours
        -- broadcast a message
    return true
end

Oh thanks, and what about the math.random between the hours to broadcast a message?

hours[math.random(1,#hours)] ?

Can be used like this @Marcelo Druida ?

local hours = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    if tonumber(os.date("%d", os.time())) == 20 then
        if hours[math.random(1,#hours)] then
            -- broadcast shit message
        end
    end
    return true
end

local hours = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}
local randomhour = hours[math.random(1,#hours)]

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)
    if tonumber(os.date("%d", os.time())) == 20 then
        if tonumber(os.date("%h", os.time())) == randomhour then
            randomhour = hours[math.random(1,#hours)]
            -- broadcast shit message
        end
    end
    return true
end
