Is there a way to divide cases?

Let's say I want to divide terrorists into 2 teams,

PHP Code:

        switch(GetRandomInt(1, 2))
        {
            
            case 1:{
                             //team1
            }
            case 2:{
                //team2
            }
        } 


but if I use GetRandomInt there is a chance that they won't be divided correctly, is there another way do this?


Any suggestions/comments greatly appreciated!

I generally make an array with all players. Scramble the array. Then loop from the start and toggle between putting the player on ct/t on each iteration step.

The easiest way I can think of would to use of an ArrayLists (or possibly normal array)
Add all players on terrorists to the ArrayList.
Pick a random index between 0 and the size of the ArrayList
set a variable that switches between the two teams 0/1.
If the variable is 0 add to team 1, if the variable is 1 add to team 2.
When the player is added switch the variable 0/1.
By the end of the loop of players the teams should be as even as possible.
edit: went into a meeting then came back out and was ninja'd oops.

Devide the set into two groups, scramble one and mirror the other. That way if 3 players end up on T, and 2 on CT, in the other group 3 must go to CT and 2 to T.

Edit: Scramble the array before processing it so client on position 3 and 6 (both are in the middle of the subset) don't always end up on the same team

********************X*********************
*    T       T      X T     T    T     T *
*                   X                    *
*                   X                    *
* C    C   C    C   X    C          C    *
*                   X                    *
********************X*********************

Edit: wtf Am I saying, just scramble the array and put 0 to n/2 on one team and n/2 to n on the other team

Ok, thanks but how do i count clients?

GetClientCount?

PHP Code:

for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++)
{
     //Do stuff.
} 


You can add in conditionals in that loop in order to get yourself the precise number you desire.

get team client's counts for making int arrays,

and put all client ids into that array

and sort it as random

[noxuu]

	int aliveT;
	for(int client = 1; client <= MaxClients; ++client) 
	{ 
		if (!IsClientInGame(client) || !IsPlayerAlive(client) || GetClientTeam(client) != CS_TEAM_T) 
			continue; 
		
		aliveT++;
	}
	
	int color1, color2;
	for(int client = 1; client <= MaxClients; ++client) 
	{ 
		if (!IsClientInGame(client) || !IsPlayerAlive(client) || GetClientTeam(client) != CS_TEAM_T) 
			continue;
		
		if(GetRandomInt(1,2) == 1)
		{
			if(color1 < aliveT / 2)
			{
				SetEntityRenderColor(client, 0, 255, 0, 255);
				Jail_KolorGracza[client] = 1;
				color1++;
			}
			else
			{
				SetEntityRenderColor(client, 255, 0, 0, 255);
				Jail_KolorGracza[client] = 2;
				color2++;
			}
		}
		else
		{
			if(color2 < aliveT / 2)
			{
				SetEntityRenderColor(client, 255, 0, 0, 255);
				color2++;
			}
			else
			{
				SetEntityRenderColor(client, 0, 255, 0, 255);
				color1++;
			}
		}
	}

Works perfect. Don't need to use arrays.

Just shuffle an array of valid clients and then alternate assignment.

Don't need to use arrays.

It's still easier to just have an array of players (shuffled) and alternate 1/2 concurrently on each of them.
