Need help with random number.

AlkaPP

Hi all,

Can someone show me how to assign a random number to actors without repeating the same number?

For example, number random from 1-10 without repeating then assign them to 10 actors so each actor has a unique random number.

I know it is confusing, but please help. An alternative way to get the same result would be great too.

Thanks,

Alan,

Thanks @8bitninja, i've seen that one. It is not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm trying to random 1-10 without repeating it.

You've seen that one? It was a Google Search with 4,060 results. I can assure you that at least one of those results is the correct answer to your question. The first result (a tshirtbooth YouTube video) is in fact a demonstration of a way to select a random number without repeating it but generally the accepted method for doing this now is to use a table as follows:

Create a table with a unique value in each row (column 1):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Repeat until the table is empty:

1. Change attribute game.randomRow (integer) to random(1,tableRowCount(tableName))
2. [do whatever you need with the value in TableCellValue(tableName,game.randomRow,1)]
3. Delete Table Row at index game.randomRow
