How to create a random switch?

How to create a random switch? I can't find the switch in the mission editor.

Anyone can tell me how to  find and use this switch?

Thanks !

Hi thanks, can you maybe post this as a group file?

I am just learning the editor manual ,"Randomly Choose a Route for an Object to Follow", but I can't find the random switch .

If you select the Group icon called 'two-way-random switch' and with it highlighted you can export it as a group (selected) file from the ME top left drop down.

For posting her you need to make a zip file of it .. I am curious how this one works; where  did you get it?

 

Here's a 4 way from Stoopy i think:

 

four-way non-repeating random switch.zip

 

here's another interesting set, dunno where i got this, i think here https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?board=276.0:

It's pretty old so some things might not work however ...

 Thank you for your explanation and your zip file!  I've got it!    It looks  complicated,I will study the zip file!

Here is a much simpler 2 way random switch. This is what I use. It should work for you but you will need to object link the Waypoints to your aircraft, and trigger the 1st waypoint.

@=Rookie=PeppaBig33, the random switch discussed in the manual is available as a zip file under "Sample Missions From the Manual", in the editor manual post. See the readme.txt included in the zip file.

 

In the manual, see:

• Sample Missions and Groups (pg. 11)
• Access Saved Objects, MCUs, and Groups in the Object Library (pg. 30)
• Random Switch (pg. 294)

Generally....

 

Random switches are nothing but a 'chain' of timers (percentage AND increasing delay needed)

 

INPUT triggers them all (and they should be activated if needed!!!)

- timer 1

- timer 2

...

 

Every timer MUST disable all timers as OUTPUT (and should trigger your desired action...)

- so make sure that the needed timers are activated when INPUT is triggered

Delay must be increasing

Percentage must be calculated

Percentage is always 100 / (Number_of_timers_following +1)

 

4 timers in a row.

1st -> 25% (100/ (3 + 1)

2nd -> 33% (100 / (2 +1)

3rd ->  50% (100 / (1 + 1)

4th -> 100% (100 / (0 + 1)
