It would be possible to pick up a few points of a random map to spawn something?

As weapons?

I searched but could not find and ended up doing using the following form:

PHP Code:

new Float: minbounds [3];
GetEntPropVector (0, Prop_Data "m_WorldMins" minbounds);
new Float: maxbounds [3];
GetEntPropVector (0, Prop_Data "m_WorldMaxs" maxbounds); 


However it is not good.

Can anyone help me, thanks.

Maybe grab a random vector between those points, coupled with a check that it's not TR_PointOutsideWorld with a downwards ray trace.

Or maybe the navigation mesh could contain some useful info.

You can find the spawnpoints.

However this giving various errors, but have not found the error.

PHP Code:

Create()
{
    new Float:FVec[3];
    GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec[]);

    new RFEnt = CreateEntityByName("light_dynamic");
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(RFEnt, "spotlight_radius", 400.0);
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(RFEnt, "distance", 1000.0);
    Format(cor, sizeof(cor), "%140 95 203 255"); 
    DispatchKeyValue(RFEnt, "_light", cor); 
    DispatchKeyValue(RFEnt, "brightness", "1"); 
    DispatchKeyValue(RFEnt, "style", "1");  
    DispatchSpawn(RFEnt);
    TeleportEntity(RFEnt, FVec, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
    AcceptEntityInput(RFEnt, "TurnOn");
}

stock GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec[])
{
    new Float:vec1 = GetRandomInt(0, 999);
    new Float:vec2 = GetRandomInt(0, 999);
    new Float:vec3 = GetRandomFloat(10.0, 20.0);

    if(vec1 == vec3 && vec1 == vec2 && vec3 == vec2)
    {
        GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec);
    }
    else if(TR_PointOutsideWorld(FVec[3])
    {
        GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec);
    }
    else 
    {
        FVec[0] = vec1;
        FVec[1] = vec2;
        FVec[2] = vec3;
    } 


Thanks for help.

You have wrote:

PHP Code:

    new Float:vec1 = GetRandomInt(0, 999);

    new Float:vec3 = GetRandomFloat(10.0, 20.0); 


You have create a new Float, but with GetRandomInt you get an Integer and not a Float.
That is the Error.

Make that so:

PHP Code:

stock GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec[])
{ 
    new Float:vec1 = GetRandomFloat(0.0, 999.0);
    new Float:vec2 = GetRandomFloat(0.0, 999.0);
    new Float:vec3 = GetRandomFloat(10.0, 20.0);

    if(vec1 == vec3 && vec1 == vec2 && vec3 == vec2)
    { 
        GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec);
    }
    
    else if(TR_PointOutsideWorld(FVec[3]))
    { 
        GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec);
    }
    
    else  
    {
        FVec[0] = float:vec1;
        FVec[1] = float:vec2;
        FVec[2] = float:vec3;
    }
    
    return FVec[3];
}

native Float:GetRandomFloat(Float:fMin=0.0, Float:fMax=1.0);

My mistake. this range is not 0.0 to 1.0

PHP Code:

stock GetRandomFlarePostion(Float:FVec[3])
{
    FVec[0] = GetRandomFloat(-999.0, 999.0);
    FVec[1] = GetRandomFloat(-999.0, 999.0);
    FVec[2] = GetRandomFloat(10.0, 20.0);

    if (FVec[0] == FVec[2] && FVec[0] == FVec[1] && FVec[1] == FVec[2]
        || TR_PointOutsideWorld(FVec))
    {
        GetRandomFlarePostion(FVec);
    }
} 


better version

PHP Code:

stock GetRandomPostion(Float:result[3])
{
    decl Float:vWorldMins[3], Float:vWorldMaxs[3];
    GetEntPropVector(0, Prop_Data, "m_WorldMins", vWorldMins);
    GetEntPropVector(0, Prop_Data, "m_WorldMaxs", vWorldMaxs);

    // if you need change height, edit here
    vWorldMins[2] = 10.0, vWorldMaxs[2] = 20.0;

    __GetRandomPostion(result, vWorldMins, vWorldMaxs);
}

static __GetRandomPostion(Float:result[3], const Float:mins[3], const Float:maxs[3])
{
    result[0] = GetRandomFloat(mins[0], maxs[0]);
    result[1] = GetRandomFloat(mins[1], maxs[1]);
    result[2] = GetRandomFloat(mins[2], maxs[2]);

    if (TR_PointOutsideWorld(result))
    {
        __GetRandomPostion(result, mins, maxs);
    }
}

mcpan313, thank you, really worked now it randomly creates the lighting.

Height would be the distance from the floor?

Thanks.

Exceeder, I got some errors but thank you because now I know to properly use the structure.

Thanks for help !

Maybe, but most of the time starts from the underground, you can test it.

[rodrigo286]

Is to leave it more Random? Because I get the impression that he is more in some parts of the map and others less.

Thanks.

I suggest you use it
