}

Thank you, well, that's what I thought but that seems so much more complicated ^^. Oh well, thanks.

Try using the switch functions. They can make your life a lot easier:

{
	myvar = floor(random(2));
	switch(myvar){
		case 0:
		show_message("myvar = 0");
		break;
		case 1:
		show_message("myvar = 1");
	}
}

Remember to add the break; after every case. You don't have to add it in the last one.

Oh yeah, how could I forget the Case Switch . I guess I have already used all my braincells today ^^.

Yeah or you can use the round(random(2)) to get the numbers 0, 1 or 2 right?

[FireWire Games]

Yes, round(random(2)) should give you 0, 1, or 2 if I'm not mistaken.

[TheMagicNumber]

ceil...round...floor...Theres a lot. round, rounds to the closest solid number I think. Ciel ALWAYS rounds up...floor rounds down?

Example...:

ceil = 1.24521 would take it to two?

floor = 1.99999 would take it to 1?

round = 1.5201 possibly goes to 2 and it it's 1.4524 maybe it goes to 1?
