How to randomly spawned and decrease have been used actor next time ?

Weiyu

Hello everyone!

I have a idea and that is I want to randomly spawned and decrease have used actor next time when I use it.

If I touch button, Actor_A will randomly spawned A、B、C、D、E、F

---

First time touch button: randomly spawned B
And next can randomly spawned just only A、C、D、E、F

Second time touch button: randomly spawned E
And next can randomly spawned just only A、C、D、F

Create a table with these text row values:
A
B
C
D
E
F

Change Attribute self.row to random(1,tableRowCount(tableName))
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "A"
     Spawn actor [A]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "B"
     Spawn actor [B]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "C"
     Spawn actor [C]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "D"
     Spawn actor [D]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "E"
     Spawn actor [E]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "F"
     Spawn actor [F]
Delete Row at index self.row

Repeat that each time you want to spawn a random actor.

Thank you for your answer.

And I'm sorry I don't often use table function,so I don't know that what the "Change Attribute 【 self.row 】 to random(1,tableRowCount(tableName))" mean?

Could you tell me that where can I find the self.row ? And those function are used on button?

Are you mean it? ： http://imgur.com/8xMGAZe

Please forgive my ignorance.

when you see "self."anything self refers to a self attribute , so he means create an actor and create an integer attribute call it row. (self.row)

then place a change attribute self.row to random(1,tableRowCount(tableName)),

then you place a rule and choose numeric expression

When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "A"
Spawn actor [A]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "B"
Spawn actor [B]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "C"
Spawn actor [C]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "D"
Spawn actor [D]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "E"
Spawn actor [E]
When tableCellValue(tableName,self.row,1) = "F"

It sounds like you're very new to GameSalad so it might make sense for you to watch a few tutorial videos before trying my suggestion.

This:

Change Attribute self.row to random(1,tableRowCount(tableName))

Changes the value of self.row (an Integer attribute that I created within an actor) to a value between 1 and the number of rows in the table. The idea is that you want to pick a random row but you need to know how many rows are in the table (you wouldn't want to pick a number from 1 to 20 if you only have 8 rows). Because the table size will change when you delete a row, you can't just put in the number 8 for an 8 row table. It will next become a 7 row table, then a 6 row table, etc.

Any chance you can upload the project file? There could a number of reasons why it's not working, including leaving out quotes in the "A" expression.
