ooo sorry change

screen:print(130, 100, money_value[1], b)
screen:print(130, 150, money_value[2], b)

to

screen:print(130, 100, money_value[a], b)
screen:print(130, 150, money_value[n], b)

that should be giving you two different random money values. what is it you're trying to accomplish?

i think to get rid of scientific notation you would just use

string.format("%d", moneyvalue[a])

instead

me along with 2 other pepps are workin on a deal or no deal trye game. so this functions is supposed to assign each case a money value. i put the print thing just to check it. but the math.random thing for variable "a" keeps its value, so every time it starts, each case has the same money. basically, i need it like this:

1. a is a random number from 1 to 26.

2. when n is increased by one, "a" now equals ANOTHER number from 1 to 26, and so on, besides the number that has already been chosen.

sry if i sound confusing

Never mind I fixed it. My mistake

Ok, so my problem IS my source code then, here:

Code:

---

blue = Color.new(0,0,255)
screen:print(200, 130, "My name is Code-Zero!", blue)
screen.flip()
while true do
screen.waitVblankstart()
end

Just a quick guess before i start coding, try this:

Code:

---

blue = Color.new(0,0,255)
while true do
screen:print(200, 130, "My name is Code-Zero!", blue)
screen.waitVblankstart()
screen.flip()
end

dude.. well.. i couldn't figure out how to do it from your code.. so I just wrote the code myself.. i understood what you meant.. just look at the attached script file... basically it builds a table of case numbers, sets a default case, removes it from the table, then each time "x" is pressed it selects a random case from the ones which are left, and then sets a new value for it... just download the script file and the eboot and test it out... pretty it up with some images and let me know how it works out for you!

I appreciate the offer but really I did it because I think it's a neat idea and it was a good ten minute exercise for me to learn how to remove and add to a table ;D I honestly would probably not use the points even if you gave them to me, but thanks anyways! Did you test out that script? did it work for you like it needs to?

Nope, didn't work, it just says error: no script file found
