I'm working on a map and it will be using randomized switches. I need to know how to figure out all the combinations of outcomes these switches will have. I think I need either three or four switches. What I would like is for someone to list the combinations please. :bleh:

Three Switch Randomized Combinations

1-----2-----3
S-----S-----S--1
------------C--2
------C----S--3
------------C--4
C-----C----C--5
------------S--6
------S-----C--7
------------S--8

S=Set
C=Cleared (Not Set(Text Triggers))

Each switch can either be set or cleared. (excluding randomized, toggle ) So for each switch their are 2 outcomes. All you need to do is multiply the current outcomes by two to find out how many possible outcomes their are.

EX: 1 switch = 2
2 switches = 4
3 switches = 8
4 switches = 16
So on and so forth.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

3 switches, 8 Combinations:
000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111
0 = cleared, 1 = set
You can easily expand it to 4 switches by copying the 8 combinations above and add a 0's to one copy and add 1's to the other copy (=16 combinations)

But let me say this: YOU ARE LAZY!

ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

Number of combinations is 2^n, where n is the number of randomizations. Brontobyte's 2nd method is best (not the smallest, but we're talking like 3 more triggers).

Of course, the best way is to learn how binary works, and do it yourself.

It's really not too difficult though, especially with three switches, maybe if you have like 7 or 8...

This is all pretty much what I stated in my above post... :-_-:

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
 yeh thts straight up cheating

Oh_Man -- arty's done another vid. he's also announced he's going to organise showmatches with pro, with NO maphacks, so we can see its actual capabilities

NimoStar -- It can by playing the same map thousands of times. It is similar to AI speedrunning games
