Loading random images each time the function called

ekinkes

Hi, I'm trying to load random images each time the function called using an array. That looks logical, but I get an error like "Cannot convert PImage to PImage[]" "Type mismatch, "processing.core.PImage" does not match with processing.core.PImage[]". Does it mean I can't use arrays with PImage,what am I doing wrong?

Simplified code:

PImage[] ImageArray= new PImage[7];

void setup() {
  fullScreen();

  for (int i=0; i<ImageArray.length; i++) {
    ImageArray=loadImage(i + ".png");
  }
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
      if (frameCount % 2 == 0) {
        image(ImageArray[(int)random(7)], 0, 0);
      }
    }

line 7 ...[i]=

%2..... better %44 or so

display the image throughout

the if-clause only changes a var that is the index for the array,ok?

int indexArray;

Chrisir

image(ImageArray[indexArray], 0, 0);

Well %2 is just a random number I wrote when I was rewriting the code, I'm using %60 in the original code.

I didn't get why you used the indexArray integer. It works when I write that " image(ImageArray[(int)random(7)], 0, 0);" I want to load a random image between 0 and 7. With indexArray it only loads the image[0]

Chrisir

well, when the image() command is inside if, the image would only appear briefly

better show the image outside the if as shown and say

if (frameCount % 2 == 0) {

indexArray= int(random(7));

}

image.....

Heck, I forgot to mention it before. I want the image to appear briefly.
