I'm trying to use a variation of the flyovers in my map where the plane type is changed randomly. However, each flyover has a mix of planes, kind of looks cool but not what I was looking for. This is the way I'm trying to pick the plane type. What am I doing wrong?

planetype = 1 + randomInt(3);
switch(planetype)
{
case 1:
plane =("xmodel/v_ge_air_me-109");
break;

case 2:
plane =("xmodel/vehicle_german_condor");
break;

case 3:
plane =("xmodel/vehicle_plane_stuka");
break;
break;
}

Here is what I'm getting.

Im not best on scripting, been awhile but I think for starters logic wrong. this I think should be @ bottom... switch(planetype) after you randomly pick the plane... and this starts at 0 if i remmeber right planetype = 1 + randomInt(3); so it s a array of 0,1,2,3. thats 4 slots in that array hence 4 numbers plus 1. but like I said been awhile lol

All the scripting I've been able to find using switch has it at the start. You're right about the array but changing it to:

planetype = 0 + randomInt(2);
switch(planetype)
{
case 0:
plane =("xmodel/v_ge_air_me-109");
break;

case 1:
plane =("xmodel/vehicle_german_condor");
break;

case 2:
plane =("xmodel/vehicle_plane_stuka");
break;
break;
}

gives the same results.

It looks like it s selecting everything so there someting wrong with case, but I think u still want 1 + instead of zero. been too long, now a days it's trial and error.and I still think you want to set the plane after you randomly chose it.

This would suit you better:

getPlaneType()
{

	planetype = [];

	planetype[0] =("xmodel/v_ge_air_me-109");
	planetype[1] =("xmodel/vehicle_german_condor");
	planetype[2] =("xmodel/vehicle_plane_stuka");
	
	plane = planetype[ randomInt( planetype.size ) ];
	
	return plane;
}

That looks like it would work except I didn't put up all the info in the case when I asked the question. I also need to have a start position and play the sound files that goes with the plane so it would look something like this:

case 0:
plane = ("xmodel/v_ge_air_me-109", "plane", startpos, ( xx, xx, xx) );
plane playloopsound("planesnd109");
break;
sorry, my bad.

Something like this?

main()
{
	level.planetype[0] = spawnStruct();
	level.planetype[0].origin = (452352,65,2511);
	level.planetype[0].model = "xmodel/v_ge_air_me-109";
	level.planetype[0].snd = "planesnd109";

	level.planetype[1] = spawnStruct();
	level.planetype[1].origin = (42,547,2971);
	level.planetype[1].model = "xmodel/vehicle_german_condor";
	level.planetype[1].snd = "planesndcondor";

	level.planetype[2] = spawnStruct();
	level.planetype[2].origin = (42,525,2511);
	level.planetype[2].model = "xmodel/vehicle_plane_stuka";
	level.planetype[2].snd = "planesndstuka";

	thread blah();
}

blah()
{
	num = randomInt(level.planetype.size);

	plane = spawn("script_model",level.planetype[num].origin);
	plane setModel(level.planetype[num].model);
	plane playLoopSound(level.planetype[num].snd);
}

Hey thanks KiLL3R, I'll have to change a bunch of script to use yours but I'll give it a try. For the time being though, I'm going to keep trying the case, must be some way of getting it to work right.

:P

main()
{
	switch(randomInt(3))
	{
		case 0:
			plane = spawn("script_model",(452352,65,2511));
			plane setModel("xmodel/v_ge_air_me-109");
			plane playLoopSound("planesnd109");
			break;

		case 1:
			plane = spawn("script_model",(42,547,2971));
			plane setModel("xmodel/vehicle_german_condor");
			plane playLoopSound("planesndcondor");
			break;

		case 2:
			plane = spawn("script_model",(42,525,2511));
			plane setModel("xmodel/vehicle_plane_stuka");
			plane playLoopSound("planesndstuka");
			break;
	}
}

Yeah, thanks again KiLL3R but I've tried that one. Makes a good picture though.



Strange that it doesn't work, it has to be something simple DOESN"T IT???lol
