How to make a mathrandom betwen some numbers

[Axel]

I do not know if you guys will understand me right so..

I want to make a mathrandom betwen 2,5 numbers. What i mean is not the numbers betwen the 2-5- i mean the 2 and 5 numbers. i used :

vehid = math.random(411,558) 
vehicle = createVehicle(vehid,0,0,-50) 

And it gives me some cars i don't want to(including heli)

[Aibo]

idlist = { 411, 558, 423, 435 } -- table of your ids to select from 
vehid = idlist[math.random(#idlist)] 
vehicle = createVehicle(vehid,0,0,-50)

Thanks, i tested and it works. I tryed once with {{154},{155}} and failed and i thought i can't do it like that..

[Axel]

Now i am trying it somewhere else and it does not work..

  
hookeridlist = { 85, 87, 85, 90, 152, 169, 178, 238, 244, 256, 257, 264, 68,} 
hookerids = hookeridlist[math.random(#hookeridlist)] 
  
addEvent("haveHookerJob",true) 
function haveHookerJob() 
setElementModel(source,hookerids) 
end 
addEventHandler("haveHookerJob",root,haveHookerJob) 

[Aibo]

please define "does not work".

[Axel]

It is used in a job system.. when i click on the gui button it should change my skin to one of those random skins, but it does not..

[Aibo]

maybe because it gets random skin only once, not every time "haveHookerJob" event is called.

you should move "hookerids = hookeridlist[math.random(#hookeridlist)]" line into the handler function.

[Axel]

Still..

[TAPL]

use /debugscript 3

setElementModel(source,hookerids) 

is source defined?

can you show the trigger

[Axel]

lp = getLocalPlayer

triggerServerEvent("haveHookerJob",lp)

hookeridlist = { 85, 87, 85, 90, 152, 169, 178, 238, 244, 256, 257, 264, 68,} 
  

->

  
hookeridlist = { 85, 87, 85, 90, 152, 169, 178, 238, 244, 256, 257, 264, 68} 
  

[karlis]

  
hookeridlist = { 85, 87, 85, 90, 152, 169, 178, 238, 244, 256, 257, 264, 68,} 
  

->

  
hookeridlist = { 85, 87, 85, 90, 152, 169, 178, 238, 244, 256, 257, 264, 68} 
  

no difference, lua allows commas there.
