Random object spawn

[Protagonist95]

Hello guys,stuck on a problem.Heres code i wrote:

  
items = { 
    {1337,1356.69360,1546.84326,10.82031}, 
    {1337,1356.59802,1536.86560,10.8203}, 
    {1337,1368.62585,1547.30847,10.82031} 
} 
  
function spawnLoot() 
local object ,x, y, z = unpack ( items [ math.random ( #items ) ] ) 
createObject ( object,x,y,z,0,0,0) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getRootElement(), spawnLoot) 
  

problem is that script spawns only one object.What i want to do,is spawn multiple of them(for example spawn object at first and third point)

Thank you)

Well that is because this only has one function which will only create one item.

Any suggestions ?

[Captain Cody]

Well what is the purpose of these objects, will they just stay there, move, Etc. Need this info to determine how you'd go about doing this.

It's supposed to be loot for players(1337 and etc is just testing object,after im done with this the model will be changed),so player has to pick it up some how.

[Captain Cody]

So do you want it to create all the objects at the same time or a random object?

The perfect option would be random,because otherwise players will completeley know,where loot is.

-- Put in random cords and object id, fill in your own --

As you add more objects you increase item account, and increase the number in [ ]

local objectID, x, y, z = unpack(items[randomItemIndex])---------table expected got nil

Why would you do all of this when you could just do it a lot simpler?

Your code doesn't work properly,it spawns object in one place.

[Captain Cody]

Oh you wanted the object to spawn in different locations? I though you wanted certain object to spawn in set locations.

in multiple places

[Captain Cody]

Oh that's easy, you just remove the math.random from the object, and replace that with the object id. Then it uses random cords but the same object.

[IIYAMA]

This should do it.

    items = { 
        {1337,1356.69360,1546.84326,10.82031}, 
        {1337,1356.59802,1536.86560,10.8203}, 
        {1337,1368.62585,1547.30847,10.82031} 
    } 
      
    function spawnLoot() 
        local items = deepcopy(items) -- copy the table, so we can edit it without editing the original. 
      
        for i=1, math.max(math.random(#items), math.ceil(#items*0.3)) do -- minimal 30% of the items count = 0.3. 
            local randomItemIndex = math.random ( #items ) 
            local objectID, x, y, z = unpack ( items[randomItemIndex]) 
            table.remove(items, randomItemIndex) -- remove it, so you don't duplicate item/spawnpoint. 
            createObject ( objectID,x,y,z,0,0,0) 
        end 
    end 
    addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, spawnLoot) -- don't use the ROOTELEMENT! But resourceRoot! 

Swapped the table.remove line, with the table unpack line.
