Random Message on a hotspot?

[mercedes]

I have tried a few scripts for when a user clicks on a hotspot..but nothing is working so far.. and I'm really tired now...

I want the user to click on one hotpot and have it display random messages...at least 3..

Any suggestions would be welcome..


Peace

You can change Candle's script for random sounds to fit your needs

It's easy...

Code: Select all

yourvariable=Int(Rnd*the_number_of_random_messages)+1
Select case yourvariable
Case 1
Action.Message "Hi"
...
End Select

HI guys..

Actually Candles Script would not work for this..Mystery...for some reason..like Action.Message wasn't an option... I'll try it again..
I don't have to make a variable with it do I..You know your're tired when...lol..

*EDIT* I have tried Candle's again it is still no go...

Thats where I was going with Select Case..Lyberodoggy..but its not working..Although i see why not at first..I'm french and I was putting Case Select.......

Code: Select all

Messages=Int(Rnd*3)+1
Select Case Messages
Case 1
Action.Message "Grass is Pretty TAll"
Case 2
Action.Message "I can't see that well.."
Case 3
Action.Message "Are we done here?"

End Select

But this is not working for me either..? some reason.. The only message that is coming up is the last one..."Are we done here....?"

I'm wanting this in the same hotspot eh...
Any other..suggestions..?

I assume I put this in the hotspot Advanced right..?
Same as Candles?

Thanks for Response...

Well, for me the test works:

Code: Select all

randomize
   i = int( RND * 3 ) + 1
   If i = 1 then Message "Hi1"
   If i = 2 then Message "Hi2"
   If i = 3 then Message "Hi3"

(Added code to Advance Tab of hotspot)

Hi Mercedes,

The code is fine, just add "randomize" on top of your code

That does the trick !
