This is probably the easiest thing in the world, but... [Random Number]

I've searched the Wiki's info for an hour and experimented for another two but I just can't figure out the scripting terms. (there's a reason I'm in the humanities )

I just want to have an item that when I click it, it plays one of the sounds in it randomly.

I looked at how some free environmental sound scripts in my inventory handled the llFrand command, and experimented with assigning one sound to a number and asking it to play that sound if it returns that number, but can't figure it out.

Does anyone out there know a better (simpler!) way to achieve the same effect, or know of a simple script to have an item play a random sound in its inventory when the item is clicked?

Thanks in advance!

integer numSounds;

default
{
    on_rez(integer param)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }

    state_entry()
    {
        numSounds = llGetInventoryNumber(INVENTORY_SOUND);
    }

    touch_start(integer num)
    {
        llPlaySound(llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND, llFloor(llFrand(numSounds))), 0.5);
    }
}

I think that should do it. This won't check for sound clips added/removed after the script has started, so reset the script if you change inventory. also, I've seen the touch become disabled on a script reset sometimes. If that happens, set scripts to not running followed by running, and that should clear it.

And here's a touch_start that breaks it down into individual steps and is easier to read, if that one doesn't make sense:

    touch_start(integer num)
    {
        float randomFloat = llFRand(numSounds);
        integer randomInt = llFloor(randomFloat);
        string randomSoundFileName = llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_SOUND, randomInt);
        llPlaySound(randomSoundFileName, 0.5);
    }

Thanks Ziggy! It works wonderfully!!
