Hi!
What seems to be wrong with this code?

Code:

	while(1)
	{
		If(s==0)
		{
			i=rand()*6;
			If(i==0) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba1,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba1)); }
			If(i==1) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba2,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba2)); }
			If(i==2) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba3,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba3)); }
			If(i==3) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba4,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba4)); }
			If(i==4) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba1,1,0,0xC0);
			PlaySoundLocal(hubba4,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba4)); }
			If(i==5) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba2,1,0,0xC0);
			PlaySoundLocal(hubba3,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba2)); }
		}
		Else if(s==1)
		{
			PlaySoundLocal(rayman1,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(rayman1)+1);
		}
		SetWallCel(name,s);
	}

i does not seem to become more than 0! I play and I always get hubba1 again and again!

Is "i" a defined integer? Because if it's not, rand() pulls out a flex, and it will almost never be equal to a whole number.

i is int. And this has worked before! People have used it before!

The Rand() bit looks ok, but Im more wary of that While loop than the rest. Put a printint(i); statement after the random assignment, see what its coming out to.

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

Well, I've added the Print, and I see the problem. The i is regestering the rand() but the IF:s aren't regestering the i.
Here's an update on the code:

Code:

while(1)
	{
		If(s==0)
		{
			i=rand()*6;
			printint(i);
			If(i==0) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba1,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba1)); }
			else If(i==1) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba2,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba2)); }
			else If(i==2) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba3,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba3)); }
			else If(i==3) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba4,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba4)); }
			else If(i==4) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba1,1,0,0xC0);
			PlaySoundLocal(hubba4,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba4)); }
			else If(i==5) { PlaySoundLocal(hubba2,1,0,0xC0);
			PlaySoundLocal(hubba3,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(hubba2)); }
		}
		Else if(s==1)
		{
			PlaySoundLocal(rayman1,1,0,0xC0);
			sleep(GetSoundLen(rayman1)+1);
		}
SetWallCel(name,s);
	}

What I saw on the messages is random numbers until it hits 0 then music.
