i was wondering how mav in his recent Aquaralis (hope i spelled it right

) Deep Sea map, the function of how it would randomly select one of the Convopack units each time you played Clone Wars Conquest. If he spills the beans, it should be placed in the FAQ thread! (im sure that its some sorta .lua function or something).

He uses the "math.random()" function.

math.random(SmallestPossibleNumber,BiggestPossibleNumber)

I think you can figure out the rest yourself...

Hidden/Spoiler:

An example:

I use this for random loadscreens in my map Tuskencamp (Not the released version).

I have 7 files in my load folder: PTC1.lvl, PTC2.lvl, PTC3.lvl,...you got it.

[code]   loadscreenrandom = math.random(1,7)

   ReadDataFile("dc:Load\\PTC" .. loadscreenrandom .. ".lvl")[/code][/size]
