Random Maps

[Anubhav]

Is it a way to start random map? Something with my own script?

[HerculePoirot]

I think u should use tables and then extract a random entry from it using math.random and use the map assigned to that entry.

[Anubhav]

I know but how should i do that?

local maps = {} 
for k,resource in ipairs (getResources()) do 
    if getResourceInfo(resource,"type") == "map" then 
        table.insert(maps,k,resource) 
    end 
end 
startResource(maps[math.random(1,#maps)])

=__=. Will get the maps from each resource? I need it only for one resource name : tdmMaps

[Anubhav]

Lock the topic please . Did it myself!

Before you let somebody lock it, you also can use mapmanager.

function setNextRound () 
    local mapmanager = getResourceFromName ( "mapmanager" ) 
    if mapmanager then 
        local maps = call (mapmanager,"getMapsCompatibleWithGamemode",thisResource) 
        if maps then 
            call (mapmanager,"changeGamemodeMap",maps[math.random(#maps)]) 
        end 
    end 
end
