Make a value go between 1-7

Fajlajp

Hi everybody
I´ve got a problem in my current game I´m making http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/59112/pirate-poker-texas-hold-em-wip/p1
I can´t get a integer go between 1-7 only. I just can get it go between 0-7.
Thank you for all help I could get

Is this via random? What are you doing to get 0-7?

VolontaArts

so make 0 = 1 and so on

Fajlajp

@Kevincross
Not random, it should go in order
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4 and so on

Rule: If integer (whatever you've called it) = 8
Change Attribute: integer = 1

Or, I think you could do something like this:

Change attribute: Game.Integer to (Game.Integer+1)%8

Rule: When attribute Game.Integer = 0,
Change attribute: Game.Integer to 1

There's a better way to do this, but I'm headed out the door. Hopefully this sets you in the correct direction.

If you are using a modulo setup, you probably need to put a +1 on the end of the equation. @KevinCross solution would work as well.

edit: looks like braydon beat me to it.

I will try this. Thanks

Sorry to hijack your thread, but what exactly does the % sign do? For example, you have it %8. Just curious, cause I have no clue

@tgdesign -- take a look at this:

@RThurman how nifty! Thanks friend!

I believe using mod(x,y) is preferred above x%y because the % might be dropped in the future of GS.
