Switch and group question

[Bunny75]

So I'm tryin to randomly place a marker, but I can't get this to work though it seems so simple:

_rExtract = random 2;

switch (_rExtract) do
{
case 0:
{
hint "0";
"obj_mark_3" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "extract_mark_0";
};

case 1:
{
hint "1";
"obj_mark_3" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "extract_mark_1";
};
case 2:
{
hint "2";
"obj_mark_3" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "extract_mark_2";
};
};

When running this the marker obj_mark_3 stays just where it is put in the editor and I don't get any hints?


Another one is that if I have player unit (leader of a group) in editor what is the name of the group? Does it even have one and if it doesn't how do I assign one?

The switch doesn't do anything, because the _rExtract is never (well, super low probability) exactly 0, 1 or 2.

Try: _rExtract = floor(random 3);

Yes, it has a "name" the game assigns it, but it's something like B 1-1-0. To give it a name of your own: myGroup = group this. That works in init field of any member of the group.
