Title: [AXE] call a "random" subroutine
Post by: stevon8ter on December 07, 2012, 09:42:50 am

Hi guys

How would i be able to call a random subroutine?

I mean, if i have for example 5 subroutines...
EVENT1
EVENT2
EVENT3
EVENT4
EVENT5

how could i call one of those subroutines randomly?

for example when user does something, it should call a subroutine, but it has to be randomly chosen from that 5 (or maybe more...)

1.0.0 introduced a set of nice functions that can do this quite easily. The idea is to make a set of data containing the addresses of those routines, and then choose randomly from that set.

.Make set of data containing addresses of routines using the L list token
Data(_LEVENT1^r,_LEVENT2^r,_LEVENT3^r..._LEVENTN^r)->GDB1
.Choose randomly and execute that routine using the (LABELADDRESS)() syntax
({rand^n*2+GDB1}^r)()

Yes, this is the aim of the "^n" after the "rand". "rand^n" returns a random number between 0 and n-1
