Croupierre announce talk

[Mats Berglinn]

In one part of my game Hawaiian Treasure there will be a casino with a roulette table so there is going to be a croupierre that announces winners and so on. Now here is my quesion: How do I similiar sayings for that the crouierre in Grim Fandango saying announces like first he says "Please place your bets" after a couple of seconds he say " Betting is closed." and after about a minute he say the winners randomly? Understand what I mean? Can somebody please help me?

Pseudo Code

If your character is in the room or is capapble of hearing the announcer, Have a timer start and then start with

at 10 loops or whatever increment you want to work with,
DisplaySpeechBackground (MAN, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Please place your bets.");

then another check at if the timer is at say, 50 loops, the next message and so on.

Within this you could put your check to see if your ego has gotten their bet placed within the timer.

Well,  in your room it activates a timer :
 
SetTimer (int timer_id, int timeout);
Remembers 40 loop it is one second 20 Timer_id they Exist  
Then it compares if you finishes the time  
 
Example.
 
function room_c () {  
/ / script for room: First time player enters screen
SetTimer(1,40); // 1 second
SetTimer(2,160); / /4 seconds  
}  
 
function room_b () {  
/ / script for room: Repeatedly execute  
If (IsTimerExpired(1)==1)  
   {DisplaySpeechBackground (CROUPIERRE, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE PLACE YOUR BETS");}

IF (IsTimerExpired(2)==1)    
   {DisplaySpeechBackground (CROUPIERRE, "BETTING IS CLOSED".);}  
}

Ok but when the announcing of the winners? Like he says "Fourteen, red" or "Twenty,black" and sometimes he say "House pays all winners". Like it's taking about  after saying "Betting is closed"15 secs or so and then the winners comes randomly.

[MacGyverMagic]

Declare a variable using a randomization function (can't remmeber the name) then use the number created to choose from a set of options for the croupier to say.

Sorry, but I'm new so I don't know the exact scripting, but I pretty sure it can be done this way...

//add another timer to as room loads

SetTimer(3,300);
 
//then in repeatedly execute

if (IsTimerExpired(3)==1)
{int ran=Random(32);
if (ran==0) DisplaySpeechBackground (MAN,"red one");
else if (ran==1) DisplaySpeechBackground (MAN,"red two");
else if (ran==2) DisplaySpeechBackground (MAN,"red three");

SetTimer(3,300);
}  


///experiment with the timer amounts to get the cycle right..note the SetTimer at the
///end of the else if random section to make sure it repeats ,alter this amount allso to match


probably a neater way to do it but it should be ok
