CoSpaces Edu :: Sarcophagus Open Random Character Comes Out

Coding CoBlocks
#1

How do I create a code blocks code that allows a random character to pop out every time the sarcophagus is clicked. Right now the 3 characters are in the sarcophagus and set to an opacity of 0%.

Thank you in advance for your help.

if random intger beetween 1 and 3 = 1
set carachter 1 opacity to 100
move carachter 1 one metre forward

else if random intger beetween 1 and 3 = 2
set carachter 2 opacity to 100
move carachter 2 one metre forward

set carachter 3 opacity to 100

@Alessio_Bonini I think it would be better to generate the random number one time, store it in a variable, then check against that variable; that way you don’t end up with a situation where the 1st random is 2, the 2nd random is 1, leaving a bias towards character 3.

So just set a variable to random int between 1 and 3 and set if variable = 1 and 2 and 3. Thank you @techleapnz I thought that the random number remain the same.

As long as the random number is generated inside the event, a new number will be generated with every click.

Thank you I don’t know why I was thinking it is every time the same.

I set this up as described by @Alesso_Bonini but am unsure how to set up the code as recommended by @techleapnz. Can you clarify?

you just need to substitute all random numbers codes with a variable and set a variable to a random number beetween 1 and 3

set it over te code as the first thing the program run

Here you go - remix and compare:

I also removed the click event from the sarcophagus once clicked, so it doesn’t get clicked multiple times.

Hope that helps!
