Chose waypoint by random

[Ego95]

Hi again

I didn't know where to search for so I decided to start a topic for my question.
What i want to know is if it is possible to create for example five different routes which are ending at the same place and then let the bot chose one of the five routes.

Waypoint 1 -- Chose Route A = 20%, Route B = 20%, Route C = 20%, Route D = 20%, Route E = 20%

Is something like this possible to do in lua?

I don't really know the random of lua is real or not
you could use math.random(100)
then according to the return value to decide which path to use

math.random(100)
is a random number from 1 to 100, just make it simple and do
math.random(5)

Code: Select all

Command> for i = 1,10 do print(math.random(5)) end
2
4

I wanted to use this now. But how to use it? Something like

Code: Select all

if math.random(5) == 1 then __WPL:setWaypointIndex(1); end

Each time you call math.random it generates a new number so, to check it against a few values, you will have to save it first. And I would use tags as well.

Code: Select all

local rnd = math.random(5)
if rnd == 1 then
    __WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("path1"))
elseif rnd == 2 then
    __WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("path2"))
elseif rnd == 3 then
    __WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("path3"))
elseif rnd == 4 then
    __WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("path4"))
else
    __WPL:setWaypointIndex(__WPL:findWaypointTag("path5"))
end

Thank you works great. Now I'm able to use different ways to ks.
