obtain randomly instead of chronologically ordered

[kalabasa]

if ( abcde < 4 )
			abcde++;
		for ( .@i = 0; .@i < abcde; .@i++ )
			.@form$ = .@form$ + .word$[.@i] +" ";
		for ( .@i = abcde; .@i < 4; .@i++ )
			.@form$ = .@form$ +"_ ";
		message strcharinfo(0), "Letter's Collected : "+ .@form$;

instead of collecting chronologically at random % how to change it to obtain the letters randomly

 

PS: i dont know what to put into the tittle . to the moderators kindly edit it thanks!

you could try something like this.

initialize all the character as specific character, then search and replace them randomly.

if (abcde$ == "")
	abcde$ = "____"; // initialize with a dummy character

if (compare(abcde$, "_")) {
	.@length = getstrlen(abcde$);
	do {
		.@index = rand(.@length);
	} while (charat(abcde$, .@index) != "_")); // search for it
	setchar(abcde$, .word$[.@index], .@index); // replace it
}
message strcharinfo(0), "Letter's Collected : "+ abcde$;

its working but it wont let me show the letters that i obtained

it will show only Letter's Collected: _____

	} while (charat(abcde$, .@index) != "_"); // search for it
	abcde$ = setchar(abcde$, .word$[.@index], .@index); // replace it
}
message strcharinfo(0), "Letter's Collected : "+ abcde$;
end;
