[LE] Help: RandomInt & Player generated arrays.

[javaplaza]

I'm familiar with CK and basic papyrus, but now I'm moving onto to harder things.

Since I'm not sure how to script what I'm trying to do, this may be a bit confusing. If it is, just say so, I'll do my best to explain.

The player will be shown a messagebox with multiple enemy types to select from (they are able to choose more than one). Once their selection is made, my script takes the enemy list and randomly selects one at a time for random-attacks on a specific location. I'm aware of the randomInt function, and successfully got that working. But I'm less familiar with arrays.

Thanks in advance,

java

the part i dont know how to do is fill the array with the players choices .

[ReDragon2013]

  Message PROPERTY msg auto       ; the messagebox to show enemy types



  FormList PROPERTY List01 auto     ; type 1

  FormList PROPERTY List02 auto     ; type 2

  FormList PROPERTY List03 auto     ; type 3



  Int choice   ; [default=0]



;----------------------------------

Actor FUNCTION myF_GetRandomActor()

;----------------------------------

formList fml

  IF     (choice == 1)

       fml = List01

  ELSEIF (choice == 2)

       fml = List02

  ELSEIF (choice == 3)

      fml = List03

  ENDIF



  int i = fml.GetSize() - 1

IF (i >= 0)

  i = Utility.RandomInt(0, i)

  RETURN fml.GetAt(i) as Actor

ENDIF

  RETURN None

ENDFUNCTION



;------------------

FUNCTION myF_Menu()

;------------------

    choice = msg.Show()

ENDFUNCTION

The way ive made my mod, there is one list of enemy types. (not a form list, so far its only location is in a script.)

ie: -bandits

-warlocks
-giants

-forsworn

 

 

By default, the player will have to defend the location from random attacks (one enemy type at a time of course) based off that list. The player has the option to toggle (turn off/on) any of those enemy types via a messagebox menu.

 

I'm not sure the code above does this, it seems the it allows you to select one of the enemy types, not more than one.

You have written a lot, but I miss script code to understand what are you looking for.

Keep in mind: you have an issue and other users want to help without your knowlegde of the mod.

when i wrote this blog i didn't have a code at all, because i don't know how to do what i am trying to accomplish.

 

simply put, i was asking how to fill an array with variables the player chooses from a messagebox menu.

after a lot of tinkering, i may be onto something right now, will update with my code when its complete
