help tables and random stuff

[MAB]

i don't know how to make mta create one of these markers randomly when an event happens.. and on the hit one of the other two will be created and the old one get destroyed i tried and failed so i deleted the old code and i am here for help

markers = { 
marker1 = createMarker ( 1640.04163, -2451.72778, 12.55469, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ), 
marker2 = createMarker ( -1641.87573, -183.24684, 13.14844, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ), 
marker3 = createMarker ( 1566.22876, 1498.72900, 9.83527, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170 ) 
}

Put your positions like that in a table.

markers = { 
    {1640.04163, -2451.72778, 12.55469}, 
    {-1641.87573, -183.24684, 13.14844}, 
    {1566.22876, 1498.72900, 9.83527} 
} 

Use math.random to get random position.

pos = markers[math.random(1, #markers)] 

And then create a marker.

marker = createMarker(pos[1], pos[2], pos[3], "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170) 

Use onClientMarkerHit and destroy previous marker and repeat step from the start.

Continue from there by yourself.

Put your positions like that in a table.

  
Use math.random to get random position. 
[lua]pos = markers[math.random(1, #markers)] 

And then create a marker.

marker = createMarker(pos[1], pos[2], pos[3], "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170) 

is better if use like this:

local x, y, z = unpack(markers[math.random( #markers)]) 
local marker = createMarker(x, y, z, "cylinder", 1.5, 255, 255, 0, 170)

Yeah, it's shorter but it does the same
