randomally spawning ai

Guys you have been a great source of info for me , thank you 1 and all. Now for my next question is it possible to have an ai bot spawn in a random position but stay there. So rather than it stay where i place it on the the map, is it possible for it to spawn in a certain radius of its start point. In real terms i place the spawn point behind the wall but give it a radius of 20m in which to actually spawn, is this possible?

I guess you could move the origin of it around randomly.

i know there's a rand(om) function somewhere in MOHScript, it's been used before. i've just never used it myself.

I think its

Code: Select all

randint (5)

It picks a random integer from 0 to 5.

Say you wanted a number between 2 and 7

Code: Select all


randint (5) + 2

I believe that was it.

starts at 0 like C++ rand function right?

Yep, just add on the minimum number you want it to be. Like and random number between 2 - 7 you would need to add 2 onto it so a zero would be a 2 and a 5 would be a 7.

Yep, but it's 'randomint' or 'randomfloat'

and you don't even need the parens ()
