Valik Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Nope, none at all. Its not like this is a scripting language capable of advanced tasks or anything. Honestly, was this "Ask question before thinking" day? I've just read half a dozen posts (Including another by the author of this thread) and if the authors would just think for two minutes about their question, they'd realize the answer instead of running off to the forum. Is thinking taboo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Hey Jon, future suggestion. Make a random function like that of Java. It can randomly generate numbers between a given range. I was making a script for Java with that earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzetabi Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 You can even set max and min, you can also nest it inside a Int(). Really impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Ya, what ezzetabi said. It actually choses a random number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Black, are you braindead today or is it a reoccurring tragedy? ezzetabi was refering to AutoIt not java. It may hurt but you should consider thinking before you post anything. *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_lord_mephy Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 lol. Matt, next to Valik you are one of the funniest people on this forum . Ah but Valik, he just has so many quotes, you still need some work My site for HTML Help :)[quote name='Valik' date='Oct 15 2004, 12:29 PM']Maybe nobody is an "elite uber-coder" like me because thinking is a capital offense in today's online-world?[right][snapback]36427[/snapback][/right][/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 No, if you know Java look at the random funciton. It takes in int's parameters... Like 10 -20 and will chose a random number between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valik Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Whats your point? That's functionally identical to: Int(Random(10, 20)) AutoIt returns floating pointer numbers by default. If you want an Int, tell it to give you an Int by casting it to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I know that... I already learned that the AutoIt random function does that after posting my first thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
