random methods

[iqforu]

Is there any way for Alice to perform random actions from a certain list of methods?
Another thing, is there a way for Alice to perform an action when something makes contact with another object?
thank you, iqforu

by the way, its Alice v2

I don't know the answer to your question but try and create your methods and then add the names of each method to a new LIST variable that you create. Then use ALICE's RANDOM function to select a named method from the list to call/invoke.

I've never done this, but at least this is a place to start!

Let us know how it works.

For the random method calls just do the following. Suppose there are 3 random methods you want to chose from. Use the random number function to generate a random number between 0 and 2. Then check to see what number is generated and call each method according to that number.

For collision detection have a loop that runs for infinity with an if statment that checks if object1 is within x meters of object2.

This is a GREAT way to do it ! Unless you have 5 or 12 or...... methods and you do NOT wish to hardcode how your random number generator accesses METHODS.

thank you, thank you
ill be sure to try those asap and tell you the results

Wheres the random method? How to use?

You can access the random function by clicking on the world level and clicking the function tab from the world's details. There are a couple random funtions listed which you can use in your method. (I hope this is what you are talking about!)

Hmm.. how to set the random stuff? Must be some number or what right?
:confused:
