[Eventing Question] Defining a Mining Game Randomly

[DarrylBD99]

I know there are other threads already talking the Mining Game. However, I want to make it so that way the Mining Game events generate randomly around the map on specific tiles in my game (like in DPPT). Does anyone know how?

I also want to make it so that way the Mining Game events generates randomly around the map on specific tiles in my games. If anyone can help, so plz do so.

You can get it doing the following:

• Create a Mining Game event with two pages. First page must have a Local switch conditional, for instance Self Switch "A". In that page, the event contains the Mining Game and switch on a Self Switch "B", when mining game finishes. The second page is empty and has a Self Switch Conditional "B".
• Copy that event and put on over tiles where you desire.
• Create another Event that fires automatically. In that event, create a script to declare an array variable where it contains all Event_Ids of mining game events. Then, use a rand function to generate N random array indexes, and use these indexes to access the array to extract event id. Finally, activate self switch of the event id got randomly.
  
  Sample:
  

  nMax = 7;
  listEventIds = [ 8, 12, 13, 14, 20, 30, 31] # Mining game's Event IDs
  nEvent = 0;
  
  loop do
  [INDENT]randomIndex = rand(nMax);[/INDENT][INDENT]randomEventId = listEventIds[randomIndex]; # Got random event id, e.g. 12![/INDENT][INDENT]pbSetSelfSwitch(randomEventId,"A",true); # Event id 12 now has Self Switch "A" enabled[/INDENT][INDENT]nEvent += 1;[/INDENT][INDENT]break if nEvent == nMax[/INDENT]end
  pbSetEventTime

  
  The event wihch fires automatically, must trigger only once (in a day, every 6 hours, etc.). With pbSetEventTime, this event will only execute once time.
• Create an empty second page with Self Switch conditional "A".
• Remember to disable this pbSetEventTime with a third page. That 3rd page must have enabled Self Switch conditional "A". In addition, this page will disable all Self Switches (as "A" Self Switch as "B" ones) of all Event Id (no matter if the event was hidden). Turn Self Switch "A" off and execute setTempSwitchOn("A").

Sorry for the late thanks and question, but what happens if there are no more events with self switch "a" on? Is another script required to check?

In this case, there are no more events available until next six hours, twelve hours, a day... Depends on you. If you don't wait until that, you can use a variable which stores how many active events are left, instead of using a period of time. When this counter it's zero, that event will be actived again and will execute another script. Thus, the event will turn off all mining tile events' self-switches. Then, some events will be turn on randomly! Remember to substract this counter by one in every mining tile event. Hope this help you! Cheers!

Thanks a lot, very much appreciated!
