Random Card Selection

[halcyon temple]

After every wave, I want them to give 4 random cards. Right now, I'm working on the part where no card is a copy of the others in the deck. How can I do this?

Hiya! Which part do you mean by giving the players 4 random cards? Seems like you got the script down does it work or is there any errors ongoing with it? Or is there something you're stuck with?

As i dont bother to really read scripts unless theres an actual error within it

[halcyon temple]

right now I'm looking at 2 problems, one where the same cards are being shown multiple times and one where the game fails to pick a card in time, but those are just errors i make in fixes

One solution to not allow it to pick the same cards is by putting it inside of a table and checking if v is inside of the array.

idk why i didnt think of that, ill try it

And is the "card picking" inside of the screenshot you sent or is it a different function outside of the screenshot?

[halcyon temple]

the screenshot shows a function thats meant to pick a different card until it finds one that isn't already in the lineup

so if card 1 is A, card 2 will flip through the possible cards until it finds one that isnt A

Ok so basically still the same solution! ^^
Let's say a candidate is picked called "Card A" in the 2nd slot or any slots above one, as Its impossible for the first slot to be a clone.

First:
Once a card has been picked i assume you call the function to check if its a clone

Second:
Check if the card if the card matches with anything in the slots table,

Third:
If it doesnt pass, use a repeat to repeat picking cards until its not the same card as in other slots

Else just put it inside of the card slots table with just its name, and slot number

Although my answer isnt entirely accurate to the actual solution, depending on how you code it in... Butttt.... this is just a good example on how you can fix it

But i also don't trust myself so oh well!

Just make sure you’re not endlessly re-rolling, it’s usually safer to remove picked cards from the pool so duplicates can’t happen at all.
