char array for change animation?

[phyzix5761]

Trying to make an array that stores animation names. Then I want to be able to randomly select an index from the array and put that string as the animation of the change animation parameter. How do I pass the randomly selected index? Do I need to use strcpy? If so, how?

Thanks.

You mean something like this?
Global Code

Code: Select all

char anim_names[3][30] = {"water",
                                     "dirt",
                                     "grass"};

Some event.

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", anim_names[floor(rand(3)], FORWARD);
