How do I make a script recognize that i want a value to be 1-10 for example?

[shinzo123]

I want my script *Minkoff* to recognized that i want battlers 1-30 just to throw out a number to be default battlers. how do I tell script that I want more than 1 number such as 1-30?

If i under stan you want random battelers, yes?

    @sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.title("battler_Name"+(rand(30)+1).to_s)

I think that should work.
Where you put it I don't know.

No I want the script to recognized that numbers 1-30 have the same conditions. So if i choose 1-30 to be special they are all special but 40-50 are not special... understand?

 

[ivan86s]

do you want is so that
if number ( between 1 and 30 ) do one thing
if number ( between 40 and 50) do something else
?
you have to be a bit more specific

Show your script and what you are wanting.

  DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID        = []      # Ids of enemies using default battlers
  DEFAULT_ACTOR_ID        = []     # Ids of actors using default battlers
  DEFAULT_COLLAPSE_ACTOR  = false   # If true, restores the old 'red fade'
  DEFAULT_COLLAPSE_ENEMY  = false   #   collapse effect (using spritesheets)

I want Default enemy ID to some how say [monster 1 through 30 are default battlers] I could place a comma between every number but that would be time consuming and messy.

It looks like you're creating a constant and I don't think that it can be altered outside the declaration. However if you could because it's array. You could use DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.push(number you want added). Stick it in a loop

for i in 0..30
  DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.push(i)
end

Or if you want random values which are unique.

taken_ids = []
for i in 0..30

  # Loop to keep generating values till a unique is found.
  loop do
    rand_id = rand(30) # Generate an id 0-29

    # Walk through the taken ids comparing random value. 
    for j in 0..taken_ids.size -1

      # Make sure the id is not already taken.
      if rand_id == taken[j]
        next # Repeat loop to generate another value.
      end

    end

    # Add the unique id to our taken id array.
    taken_ids.push(rand_id)
  end
  DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.push(taken_ids[i])
end

But I'm still lost on what you are attempting :-/

Good luck with it in any case! :thumb:

Ruby has a variable type called a Range which sounds like exactly what you're looking for. Here's some examples of how to use it:

DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID        = 1..30      # Ids of enemies using default battlers

# See if an enemy's id is within the default range:
my_enemy_id = 86
DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.include?(enemy_id) # false

# Get the minimum and maximum value in the default range:
min = DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.first
max = DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.last

# Convert it to an array
DEFAULT_ENEMY_ID.to_a # [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... 28, 29, 30]

If you want to know more about the Range class, you can check out the docs for it: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Range.html

[original_post]Ranges don't seem to work in RGSS. Shame too, I thought you just shortened some of my incremental array code.[/original_post]

Ranges work in RGSS. They help to shorten the code for incremental arrays.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Ranges work correctly, you just need to know how to use them or have a script read them correctly.

I tried to use it and got a syntax error. What am I doing wrong because as I said it would greatly shorten some of my array code? I just tried something simple like 'Range = 0..5'. Does the syntax change in RGSS?

Never, never name a variable the same as the type you are trying to create.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Nothing changes in rmxp. All RGSS is an expansion of the Ruby Library (just like the MACL).

It all depends on what is reading the object, as Ranges themselves are objects. If you try to use an array method on a range object, then yes, you will get an error in the array method isn't in the Range object class. All you really have to do is use range.to_a it will change your range to an array.

If you didn't get what you wanted out of me, show me exactly what you are trying to do, as the above codes just confuse the hell out of me.

 

[khmp]

I am a complete idiot. I named my variable the same as the type. So when I wrote the line "Range = 0..5" it gave a syntax error. It works otherwise so I will edit my previous post to avoid confusion of people coming to this topic. Sorry SephirothSpawn.
