i am making a game that has a theme of hospital. the patients will need either injection or medicine. how can i make the patients randomly ask for injection or medicine?

here are my codes so far

obj_patient1

create

timeWaited = 0;
severityOfInjury = irandom_range(1, 10);

priority = timeWaited *  (severityOfInjury / 3); 

alarm[10] = room_speed;

alarm

timeWaited += 0;

priority = timeWaited *  (severityOfInjury / 3); 

alarm[10] = room_speed;

step

var xx,yy,xxx,yyy;

if instance_exists(obj_wait)
{
xxx=64;
yyy=336;
xx=floor(xxx+10);
yy=floor(yyy+10);
}

obj_doc

step

if (instance_exists(obj_patient1))
{
  var nextPatient, highestNeed;
  nextPatient = noone;
  highestNeed = 0;

  with (obj_patient1)
  {
        if (highestNeed > other.highestNeed)
        {
        other.nextPatient       = id;
        other.highestNeed  = highestNeed;
        }
  }

  nextPatient.selected = true; // Or whatever you're way of selecting them is :)
}

create event
treatment = choose( choiceA, choiceB);

Might be offtopic, but:

timeWaited = 0;
severityOfInjury = irandom_range(1, 10);

priority = timeWaited * (severityOfInjury / 3);

alarm[10] = room_speed;

alarm

timeWaited += 0;

priority = timeWaited * (severityOfInjury / 3);

alarm[10] = room_speed;

btw: red code causes blue code to always be 0
The second one should be +=1;

severityOfInjury = irandom_range(1, 10);

severityOfInjury = round(random(10)); might be better for performance

if (instance_exists(obj_patient1))
{
var nextPatient, highestNeed;
nextPatient = noone;
highestNeed = 0;

with (obj_patient1)
{
if (highestNeed > other.highestNeed)
{
other.nextPatient = id;
other.highestNeed = highestNeed;
}
}

nextPatient.selected = true; // Or whatever you're way of selecting them is
}

Orange code is calling a variable that doesnt exist: highestNeed on obj_patient
Should be:

if (priority > other.highestNeed)

other.highestNeed = priority;

var nextPatient, highestNeed;

Might be worth giving temporary variables a different name so you know that they only exist there. Like _nextPatient and _highestNeed. Same goes for globalvariables, giving them a name like g_(name) helps to identify them later.



Hope this helps

what i would do is this

switch(irandom_range(1,2))
{case 1:  injection 
case 2:  medicine }

but the choose function works too!(and much easier)!
