Added code for random numbers in quests =)

Ok, here it is! :worship:

usage is: $random(x)
where x is the upper limit of a random number 0 < n < x

also, put it in quotes when you use it (ie. givecash("random(10)","random(10)","random(5)","ra ndom(5)"

enjoy! 8)

../zone/parser.cpp : line 1456 (or thereabouts) INSERT this

Code:

//used_pawn

        else if (!strcmp(varname,"random")) {

                char temp[10];

                Replace(origstring,format,itoa(rand()%varparms[0],temp,10));

        }

//used_pawn

bah, i hadnt updated my cvs lately, try putting it here

../zone/parser.cpp : line 1497

Code:

        else if (!strcmp(varname,"chr")) {

                char temp[4];

                memset(temp, 0x0, 4);

                temp[0] = atoi(varparms);

                Replace(origstring,format,temp);

        }

//used_pawn

        else if (!strcmp(varname,"random")) {

                char temp[10];

                Replace(origstring,format,itoa(rand()%varparms[0],temp,10));

        }

//used_pawn

        else if (!strcmp(varname,"asc")) {

                char temp[10];

                Replace(origstring,format,itoa(varparms[0],temp,10));

        }

Sorry, Im not very good at my postings.

I've been testing this out and it doesn't seem to use the amount you enter in $random() as the max.

are yoou using $random("10") or $random(10) ?

Tried with both, neither work 100% of the time.

And this is with creating a script to where the npc responds with all of the possible numbers in the quest.

Bleh

Change:
Replace(origstring,format,itoa(rand()%varparms[0],temp,10));
To:
Replace(origstring,format,itoa(rand()%atoi(varparm s[0]),temp,10));

Should maybe do the trick

the number you put in will never be chosen, that is by design.
as I stated 0<n<x where x is the number you put in random(x), easy to put in one number higher than you need, or change it in the code, doesnt really matter to me either way.

I have noticed strange things with quotes on many commands, some use them, some dont, some dont seem to work the same way twice in a row. Wasnt sure if it was things ive done to my code or if everyone had the problem

ah well, these things happen
