Script to randomly call other scripts

[anthonyfromtheuk 6]

I have multiple scripts which spawn different groups and units how can I randomly call them with another script?

I have 3 scripts named 1.sqf 2.sqf and 3.sqf. I would like a script to randomly choose which of these scripts to call when it itself is called.

I really need to learn to randomise my missions, they are way less immersive when I know what's going to be where.

Probably something like this will work:

_scriptsArray = ["1.sqf", "2.sqf", "3.sqf"];
_script = _array select floor random count _scriptsArray;
[] execVM _script;

If it won't execute, try this code

_script = (floor random 3) + 1;
switch (_script) do
{
  case 1 : { [] execVM "1.sqf"; };
  case 2 : { [] execVM "2.sqf"; };
  case 3 : { [] execVM "3.sqf"; };
};

@semiconductor : Easier to use bis function for _script value

_script = [1,3] call BIS_fnc_randomInt;

Thanks, I didn't know that there is such convenient function :)

_script = [1,3] call BIS_fnc_randomInt;
switch (_script) do
{
  case 1 : { [] execVM "1.sqf"; };
  case 2 : { [] execVM "2.sqf"; };
  case 3 : { [] execVM "3.sqf"; };
};

This works perfectly thank you for your help!
