How Local Choice=Math.random Works

This guide was made by Me!

First lets view a LUA Peice from LUA++'s SVN. Brutallus for instance is a Local Choice=Math.random Boss.

Here is a peice of it.

Code:

---

function Brut_OnKilledTarget (pUnit, Event)
    local Choice=math.random(1, 3)
        if Choice==1 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Perish, insect!")
            pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(12464)
        elseif Choice==2 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "You are meat!")
            pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(12465)
        elseif Choice==3 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "Too easy!")
            pUnit:PlaySoundToSet(12466)
end
end

---

Alright, so now you just need to re-write that on Notepad from scrath alot to get the feel of it. So now we have the script and feel of it. Lets continue to add and decrease options"elseif choice's".

Alright this is what makes the script have as many options.

Code:

---

    local Choice=math.random(1, 3) <--

---

You cannot change the 1 or it will not load all the others.
You can change the 3 to make as many adds as possible.
Example

Code:

---

function Test_OnEnterCombat(pUnit, Event)
    local Choice=math.random(1, 6)
        if Choice==1 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "WHY AM I YELLING?")
        elseif Choice==2 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(12, 0, "I would like to talk now.")
        elseif Choice==3 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "TALKING IS FOR LOSERS!!!")
        elseif Choice==4 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "TALKING IS FOR LOSERS!!!")
        elseif Choice==5 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "TALKING IS FOR LOSERS!!!")
        elseif Choice==6 then
            pUnit:SendChatMessage(14, 0, "TALKING IS FOR LOSERS!!!")
end
end

---

All you need to change is

Code:

---

elseif Choice==3 then

---

and

Code:

---

local Choice=math.random(1, 6)

---

As high as you want.

Hope this helps!
