[Scripts] Random coord generator

[Redsparx]

Redsparx at it again.

So I am trying to develop a random coordinate generator for my disaster survival world, but I cant figure out how to make the script execute at a random position in the world.
Anyone know how to make that happen?

Var [x] = [rand:1023]
Var [y] = [rand:511]
Var [z] = [rand:1023]

Type "x", "y", or "z" where you are attempting to enter coordinates
Example:
SetBlock [x,y,z]

[Redsparx]

so am i just entering vars that  pick a number up to that number?

[AlienizdPixel]

Yes. You can have more specific numbers by using addition
Example: If you want all of these disasters to only occur above the surface, then use
Var [y] = [rand:311] + [200]

Yep, but if im correct, 0,y,z or x,y,0 are not real coordinates, and the var rand: has a chance at being 0, so add something like this

Code: [Select]

If
IsVar [x] [=] [0]
Then
Loop
ElseIf
IsVar [z] [=] [0]
Then
Loop
Else
//Do your script here
EndIf
This basically checks if one of the x or z coords is 0, if so, it retries

No, if you don't want zero's then just add 1.


var [x] = [1] + [rand:1022]
var [y] = [1] + [rand:510]
var [z] = [1] + [rand:1022]

i.e. var [x] = [a] + [rand:b] is the same as pick a number between a and a + b

No, if you don't want zero's then just add 1.


var [x] = [1] + [rand:1022]
var [y] = [1] + [rand:510]
var [z] = [1] + [rand:1022]

i.e. var [x] = [a] + [rand:b] is the same as pick a number between a and a + b

So, what if i want to have a random script generator to work on both types of maps (D.D. and the others), without making anentirely new script?

For the Dig-Deep gamemode, you will have to change the numbers to fit the different map size.
var [x] = [rand:511]
var [y] = [rand:3071]
var [z] = [rand:511]
