random numbers

[Desbrina]

I'm looking for a couple of ways of getting random numbers

First way
Picking random numbers from the inventory

Example:
Say player has items with IDs: 1, 5, 14, 16, 19, 22, 27, 31
Pick 5 random ones: 5, 16, 19, 22, 27, 31

Store each number into variable:
num1 -> 62
num2 -> 63
num3 -> 64
num4 -> 65
num5 -> 66

Second way
Picking random numbers from list

Example:
List has these ids: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25
Pick 5 random ones: 1, 7, 9, 17, 25

Store each number into variable

num1 -> 67
num2 -> 68
num3 -> 69
num4 -> 70
num5 -> 71

How would i go about doing this?

# Getting items list

array = []

for i in 1...$data_items.size

  array << i if $game_party.item_number(i) > 0

end

 

# Getting random value and removing it from Array

index = rand(array.size)

id = array[index]

array.delete_at(index)

 

# Setting to variable

$game_variables[n] = id

Hope that helps.
