Autoit Random number help?

[TheFixer]

So I need some help...

basically all I want to do is have Autoit generate a random number between 1 and 3

and then have an if statement that reads the random number... and lets say if it = 3 it will say the number 3 in a msgbox

(like this)

sleep(500)

Random(1,3)

If Random = 2 Then
    MsgBox(0,"","2")
EndIf

If Random = 1 Then
    MsgBox(0,"","1")
EndIf

If Random = 3 Then
    MsgBox(0,"","3")
EndIf

can anyone help me? (thanks in advance!)

$RandomNumber=Random(1,3,1)
MsgBox(0,"Result",$RandomNumber)

 

[TheFixer]

$RandomNumber=Random(1,3,1)
MsgBox(0,"Result",$RandomNumber)

 

not exactly what i was looking for I want it to be like
 

If $RandomNumber = 3 Then
--> does stuff here
EndIf

TheFixer,

Get the random number and then use a Switch structure to distinguish between the 3 returns - look in the Help file to see the syntax.

I hope you don't mind but could you give me a little example? (I work best with examples & having things explained to me like I'm stupid pretty much lol)

TheFixer,

What do you not understand about the example for Switch in the Help file? Does that not explain how to use the function well enough?

$iRandomNumber = Random(1, 3, 1)

Switch $iRandomNumber
    Case 1
        ; Code
    
    Case 2
        ; Code
    
    Case 3
        ; Code
EndSwitch
