using more than 3 random -ifs;else ifs;?

[CB..]

the reference manual gives the code for scripting a random script as

int ran=Random(2);
if (ran==0) NewRoom(1);
else if (ran==1) NewRoom(2);
else NewRoom(3);



but implys that more than three "ifs /else/else ifs" can be added

but im not sure how to add the extra randomisations
how would i script more than these three in the same script?

i want to script a random response on the basis of a dice throw , so i need six options in the same randomisation

and more if i can have them (for perhaps a full deck of cards)

if you just want to add more ifs to the end of that script you can do so just by adding another 'else if'

else if (ran==2).....
else if (ran==3)....

but that only makes sense if ran could actually be 2 or 3 or so on, so you have to change the line
int ran=Random(2);
to...
int ran=Random(51);

that is if you were trying to pick a random card from a deck of 52 (the random result will start from 0, rather than 1 so the number in the random should be one less than the number of possible results you want)



For your dice script that would be something like this:

int sideresult=Random(5);
if(sideresult==0) Display("You rolled a 1.  You lose!");
else if(sideresult==1) Display("You rolled a 2.  You lose!");
else if(sideresult==2) Display("You rolled a 3.  You lose!");
else if(sideresult==3) Display("You rolled a 4.  Not quite enough, you lose!");
else if(sideresult==4) Display("You rolled a 5.  So close, but you lose!");
else Display("You rolled a 6.  You are win!");
