Heya,
So this is the random function:-
function random(min, max)
{
return min + ((max - min + 1) * rand() / 32767).tointeger();
}
And here's the TextUpdater function:-
function TextUpdater()
{
local idx = random_msg[ random(0, random_msg.len() ) ];
ClientMessageToAll( idx[0], idx[1], idx[2], idx[3] );
}
Her's the random_msg
random_msg <- [
["Hey",255,255,255],
["Heya",255,255,255]
];
So the problem is with this line:-
local idx = random_msg[ random(0, random_msg.len() ) ];And the error is:-
the index 2 doesn't existWhen i change that line to:-
local idx = random_msg[ random(0, random_msg.len() - 1 ) ];It fixes the error, why?
And what was the problem before?
And why do we use -1 there?
An arrays index start with 0. So the first element will be given index 0.
When you get the length of that array (with one element: the first) it will return 1.
That's why you'd always have to use array.len() - 1 in order to get the latest element.
That means it wouldn't affect my messages?

Nope.
