confusion on array and random()

[khortez]

Suddenly i can see how dumb my second attempt looks. I didn't even refer anything from the array at that point. aside from it's size anyway. but anyways thanks. i can see what i did wrong/should have done.

There is also a simpler method then this that will give you the same results.

PHP Code:

function onCreated(){ 
  temp.images = { "test1", "test2"}; 
  temp.random = randomstring(temp.images);
  echo(temp.random);
}

And yet... another little tidbit that was off in cyberspace until this moment.. how do you guys remember all these prefixes and what not?

thanks though i got two methods to use now

you'll recall them all the time, kinda like learning a new language. also you can find some functions by using /scripthelp keyword on rc, while keyword is some part of the functions name or description. that way you can find some stuff or parameters of a function

Was randomstring ever fixed? Last post I can find about it is from December 2012 indicating it's still broken:

If it's still broken, I'd avoid it entirely (even if you're aware of how it's broken). You never know when somebody will change something without realizing you were relying on a broken function.

If it was fixed, I wouldn't use it until v6 is mandatory (or is it already?), since it's broken v5 clientside.

It's not broking we use it Heavily on delteria, if it's broking please elaborate how? Seems to work fine for me.

Mis-Read your response, didn't know it was broking on V5 Clientside. Will test sometime on that theory.

Edit: Also confirmed it works on clientside on V6.

Try this on both clientside and serverside. I have no idea if it's still broken, though:

PHP Code:

temp.arr = {"foo"};

for (temp.i = 0; temp.i < 10; temp.i++)
  echo(temp.i @ ": " @ randomstring(temp.arr)); 


If it's broken, you'll find that half the time it returns an empty string instead of the only element in the array.
