LE Random item from formlist

[gerg357]

I was wondering what is the code for adding a random item from a formlist to players inventory is? Haven't found much luck online on that

[lofgren]

int n = MyFormList.GetSize() - 1

n = utility.RandomInt(0, n)

(game.GetPlayer()).AddItem(MyFormList.GetAt(n))

int n = MyFormList.GetSize() - 1
n = utility.RandomInt(0, n)
(game.GetPlayer()).AddItem(MyFormList.GetAt(n))

hey thanks pretty simple i thought it woulda been a longer code :D got a question i know int n is integer and i know n = utility.RandomInt(0, n) gets random value from 0 to ever how many forms is in the list and i know the last line gives the item ... my question is int n is this pretty much making the variable n an integer?? like converting it? reason im asking int n looks like a variable and n looks like a variable just little confused on why there is two and in last time it only uses the n... im guessing its converting n to a integer? thanks again for all the help thats awesome

In lofgren's example, 'int' is used to declare/define the type of variable that 'n' will be throughout the rest of the code. Thus 'int' is only needed once and only at the first use.

int n = MyFormList.GetSize() - 1
n = utility.RandomInt(0, n)
(game.GetPlayer()).AddItem(MyFormList.GetAt(n))

hey can this be used with leveled list? or is it just form list.. and if not how would i use it with a level list and what would the property be called??

[IsharaMeradin]

Leveled lists are already randomized to a degree because they are based upon the player's level. But if you want to try...

 

Requires SKSE

LeveledItem Property myLI Auto
Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

;some event
int n = myLI.GetNumForms() - 1
n = Utility.RandomInt(0,n)
PlayerRef.AddItem(myLI.GetNthForm(n))

You could use the same with LeveledActor and LeveledSpell, just change the property type accordingly. And probably change how you put it into the game. Don't think it is wise to use AddItem with an actor or spell. :P

[lofgren]

There's no need to get a random entry on a leveled list. Even if all of the levels are set to 1, the game will only select one item randomly from the list.

 

So IsharaMeradin's script above will produce exactly the same result as

LeveledItem Property myLI Auto
Actor Property PlayerRef Auto

;some event
PlayerRef.AddItem(myLI)

Still require skse?

[IsharaMeradin]

Nope. SKSE was only needed for GetNumForms and GetNthForm. AddItem is a stock function.
