Hi. I would like to request a code snippet where you can randomly choose a random enemy player. I am trying to create a "smite" like plugin where a random enemy player gets smitten. Thanks!

[Bugsy]

Search around a bit, this has been covered. Are you trying to avoid duplicates or any other conditions?

[Infractem]

I made this code using the other parts of the plugin I am editing right now(cypis' killstreak plugin)
The thing is this bombs EVERY enemy on the map, I only need a single random enemy to get bombed. Can you help me with this one, please?

public CreatePredator2(id)
{
	new num, players[32];
	get_players(players, num, "gh");
	for(new a = 0; a < num; a++)
	{
		new i = players[a];
		if(get_user_team(id) != get_user_team(i))
			client_cmd(i, "spk sound/mw/predator_enemy.wav");
		else
			client_cmd(i, "spk sound/mw/predator_friend.wav");
	}
	set_task(5.0, "predator_continue", id)
	predator[id] = false;
}

public predator_continue(id)
{
	new num, players[32], PlayerCoords[3];
	get_players(players, num, "gh")
	for(new a=0; a<num; a++)
	{      
		if(!is_user_alive(players[a]) || get_user_team(players[a]) == get_user_team(id)) 
			continue;
		get_user_origin(players[a], PlayerCoords);
		
		new Float:LocVec[3]; 
		IVecFVec(PlayerCoords, LocVec); 
		create_ent(id, "bomb", "models/p_hegrenade.mdl", 2, 10, LocVec);
	}
}

PHP Code:

get_random_enemy(id)
{
    new iPlayers[32], iPnum
    get_players(iPlayers, iPnum, "ae", get_user_team(id) == 1 ? "TERRORIST" : "CT")
    
    if(iPnum)
        return iPlayers[random(iPnum)]
} 


PHP Code:

new iPlayer = get_random_enemy(id)

if(iPlayer)
{
    // Your code here...
}

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try this out.

EDIT: Working fine now, except compiler tells me that iPlayers

//this line
return iPlayers[random(iPnum)]

should return a value. How do I fix that?(Sorry extra noob scripter here)

PHP Code:

get_random_enemy(id)
{
    new iPlayers[32], iPnum
    get_players(iPlayers, iPnum, "ae", get_user_team(id) == 1 ? "CT" : "TERRORIST")
    
    if(iPnum)
        return iPlayers[random(iPnum)]
    
    return 0
} 


PHP Code:

new iPlayer = get_random_enemy(id)

if(iPlayer)
{
    // Your code here...
}

Best to avoid using magic numbers. I'd do the below or use cstrike for CS_TEAM_T.

PHP Code:

enum Teams
{
    Team_Unassigned,
    Team_T,
    Team_CT,
    Team_Spectator
}

get_random_enemy( id )
{
    new iPlayers[32], iPnum
    get_players(iPlayers, iPnum, "ae", Teams:get_user_team( id ) == Team_T ? "CT" : "TERRORIST")
    
    return iPnum ? iPlayers[ random( iPnum ) ] : 0;
}

I'd like to ask, does get_user_team consider Team_Unassigned as 0, Team_T as 1 ... ?

enum numerates the variables starting from 0 if no other default value is assigned.
