A way to activate a random group on a specific action

[bidbox]

Hi all,

I have a problem that's been frying me, hopefully you can help?

I have a number of power-up actions in my game, all of which are housed separately under individual event groups.

The main power-up trigger event is outside all of these - basically a collision between player and power-up object. What I'm trying to get to happen is when this even occurs a random power-up group is selected.

I can't get to grips with how to do this.... any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hey!
There's no direct way to select a random group, but you can do something like this:
On the event where a powerup should be selected, deactivate all powerups and set a value to Random(Number of Powerups) +1.
If the value is 1, activate Powerup 1, if it's 2, activate Powerup 2 and so on..

Cheers Popcorn, that works brilliantly!
