math.random. How use it without intervals

[KM_Rose]

Hi all.

I know how use this math.random , i'm using it on pickups for chage the skin

Example:

math.random ( 56, 60 )

(skins id 56...60)

But i want know if i can use it selecting independents skins:

For example: i don't want skins 56...60, i want random between skin: 56, skin:58 and skin: 60...

how could i use it??

some like this?? math.random ( 56. 58. 60 )

Sorry my bad english, i use examples because i don't speak english so good...

some help?

Is easy. Use this:

local skinSelect = math.random(0,2) 
if skinSelect == 0 then 
 skin = 56 
elseif skinSelect == 1 then 
 skin = 58 
elseif skinSelect == 2 then 
 skin = 60 
end 
  
setPedSkin (ped,skin)--USE A PED ELEMENT!

more efficient way:

  
allowedElements = { 56, 58, 60, 65, 67, 80, 91, 105 } 
  
random = allowedElements[math.random(1, #allowedElements)] 
setElementModel (ped, random) -- you should use it instead of setPedSkin !

Difference between setElementModel and setPedSkin, why to use setElementModel? Isn't the same thing anyway?

[DiSaMe]

setElementModel can be used not only on peds and players, but also on objects and vehicles. setPedSkin is deprecated.
