I want to create a timer that will have a random duration.
I already have a basic number generator

PHP Code:

new RandomNumbersArray[9] = {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12};
    new randomnum = GetRandomInt(0, 8);
    new duration = RandomNumbersArray[randomnum]; 


Although I don't know how or if it is even possible to use the random number that got generated (duration) in a CreateTimer.

PHP Code:

new RandomNumbersArray[9] = {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}; 
new randomnum = GetRandomInt(0, 8); 
new duration = RandomNumbersArray[randomnum];
// --------------------------------------------------------------
CreateTimer(duration, Timer_Callback); 


You mean like this?

Or you can do something like this:

PHP Code:

new Float:duration = GetRandomFloat(4.0, 12.0);
CreateTimer(duration, Timer_Callback);

static const Float:array[] = {4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0};
CreateTimer(array[GetRandomInt(0, sizeof(array) - 1)], Timer_Callback);

or cast the float and use an integer array

The first parameter for the CreateTimer native is a float. If you supply something other than a float, you will get a tag mismatch warning on compile.

solution 1:

PHP Code:

new RandomNumbersArray[9] = {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12};  
new Float:duration = float(RandomNumbersArray[GetRandomInt(0, sizeof(RandomNumbersArray)-1)]); 
// -------------------------------------------------------------- 
CreateTimer(duration, Timer_Callback); 


solution 2:

PHP Code:

new Float:RandomNumbersArray[9] = {4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,8.0,9.0,10.0,11.0,12.0};  
new Float:duration = RandomNumbersArray[GetRandomInt(0, sizeof(RandomNumbersArray)-1)]; 
// -------------------------------------------------------------- 
CreateTimer(duration, Timer_Callback); 


solution 3:

PHP Code:

CreateTimer(GetRandomFloat(4.0, 12.0), Timer_Callback); 


solution 4:

PHP Code:

CreateTimer(float(GetRandomInt(4, 12)), Timer_Callback);

Why do you guys declare new variables before passing them to one-time use things?
