Title: Random Lightning problem
Post by: LRH on Thu 02/04/2009 00:10:27

Hey all! I was wondering if someone can help me. I am attempting to make a random lightning event within a room.
This is the code I'm using, which I put into the room's after fadein code. What am I doing wrong? (Note, once this works, I'll replace the Display("etcetc"); with playsound and light effect for lightning.

int lightning = 1;
if (lightning == 2)
{
int RAND = Random(15);
SetTimer(1, RAND * 100); // I've tried it without the * 100 too ...
lightning = 1;
}
else if (lightning == 1 && IsTimerExpired(1) == true)
{
Display("Random Test!");
lightning=2;
}

Any help always appreciated. Thanks!

If it's in the 'after fadr-in' code, it'll only be run once. For recurring events, use rep_exec.

Thanks a lot! With that information and some minor tweaking it works great.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'd move the *100 up a line, rather than putting it inside the SetTimer call.

But, it might not even matter.
