draw that eliminates the used options

[hectrol 4]

Hello dear comrades, I was wondering if there is a scripted draw method similar to the one I propose, BUT that does not repeat the options.

 

//nul = [] execVM "loops\Sorteo_Civilian_Namuvaka_1.sqf";

systemchat "Hostage placed";


_script = (floor random 9) + 1;
switch (_script) do
{
  case 1 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_1; };
  case 2 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_2; };
  case 3 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_3; };
  case 4 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_4; };
  case 5 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_5; };
  case 6 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_6; };
  case 7 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_7; };
  case 8 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_8; };
  case 9 : { leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1 setPos getPos Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_9; };

  
};

although it would be to choose between scripts like..

nul = [] execVM "missions\Mission_1.sqf";
nul = [] execVM "missions\Mission_2.sqf";
nul = [] execVM "missions\Mission_3.sqf";

etc

I didn't quite understand what you want, but this is simplified version of your code:

_varName = format ["Pos_Reh_Namuvaka_%1", (floor (random 9)) + 1];

(leader CIV_REHEN_NAMUVAKA_1) setPos (getPos (missionNamespace getVariable _varName));

Hi, if i understand correctly, you want to have randomized mission selection that won't repeat when the script is executed again correct ? There is multiple solutions to this. Depends how you wish the script to behave.
I prepared two scripts.
The first one will randomize the missions and then proceed them in order they have been randomized.

//random unique, with fixed order (order is given by randomizing initial array and then the script proceed the array in this order - meaning, you know which mission is selected next)
private _availableMissions = missionNamespace getVariable ["soldierXXXX_Available_Missions",(["Mission_1","Mission_2","Mission_3","Mission_4","Mission_5","Mission_6"] call BIS_fnc_arrayShuffle)];
if (_availableMissions isEqualTo []) exitWith {systemChat "No other missions available";};
private _selectedMission = _availableMissions select 0;
_availableMissions deleteAt 0;
missionNamespace setVariable ["soldierXXXX_Available_Missions",_availableMissions];
systemChat ("Selected mission: " + _selectedMission);
systemChat ("Path of the selected mission: " + ("missions\" + _selectedMission + ".sqf"));
systemChat ("Remaining missions: " + str _availableMissions);
//execVM ("missions\" + _selectedMission + ".sqf");

The second one will always select random mission no matter what, so you don't know what's next.

//completely randomized and unique (no one knows what's next)
private _availableMissions = missionNamespace getVariable ["soldierXXXX_Available_Missions",["Mission_1","Mission_2","Mission_3","Mission_4","Mission_5","Mission_6"]];
if (_availableMissions isEqualTo []) exitWith {systemChat "No other missions available";}; 
private _selectedMission = selectRandom _availableMissions; 
private _index = _availableMissions find _selectedMission; 
_availableMissions deleteAt _index; 
missionNamespace setVariable ["soldierXXXX_Available_Missions",_availableMissions]; 
systemChat ("Selected mission: " + _selectedMission);
systemChat ("Path of the selected mission: " + ("missions\" + _selectedMission + ".sqf"));
systemChat ("Remaining missions: " + str _availableMissions);
//execVM ("missions\" + _selectedMission + ".sqf");

I hope this will help you 🙂.

Is just...

private _selectedMission = _availableMissions deleteAt floor( random count _availableMissions );

How to turn any array into a shuffled deck in 1 line. Nice.

The brackets shouldn't even be necessary since floor random and count are all unary commands.

@Larrow Sure, could be also done like that. Nice solution.

Thank you very much for your effort and for your knowledge.
At the moment I have two missions, soon there will be more:

Mission_Namuvaka.sqf
GSM_Mission.sqf

Can you help me organize it please? For you they are known concepts but for me they are new, thank you all very much.
