What's wrong with setpos?

[ffur2007slx2_5 11]

Now I'm suffered with a problem that the code below sometimes works good but sometimes the engine report error: type Any, expected Number.

I can't figure it out why? Does anyone know it?

            
           _WCRRandomPlayerStartRangeUtes = 500;
           _WCRCenter = "LOGIC" createVehicleLocal [3578,3780,0];
           _WCROffset0 = ((position _WCRCenter select 0) + (random _WCRRandomPlayerStartRangeUtes));
           _WCROffset1 = ((position _WCRCenter select 0) - (random _WCRRandomPlayerStartRangeUtes));
           _WCROffset2 = ((position _WCRCenter select 1) + (random _WCRRandomPlayerStartRangeUtes));
           _WCROffset3 = ((position _WCRCenter select 1) - (random _WCRRandomPlayerStartRangeUtes));
           sleep 1;
           player setpos [([_WCROffset0,_WCROffset1] select (round (random 2))),([_WCROffset2,_WCROffset3] select (round (random 2))),0];

My purpose is player can be generated randomly around a specific point.

Reason is that you use round. Only two items in array and round can return three. Random value of 2 can return a value in range 1.5 - 1.99. Rounding that will make it 2, which it 3rd position in an array. Should use floor with randoms instead.

However, why are you creating a logic instead of just randomizing the position straight away? You already know range and center position.

One good reason is a forest. Random placement doesn't work in the woods.

Sure it works.

Besides, creating a logic to a position and then getposing the position from it is kind silly. You already had the position in the first place.

Thanks, mate, problem solved perfectly, no more errors!
