Changing scenes to a random one

Hi. I have 40 scenes and was wondering how i would have it so when you touch it changes to scenes at random, i dont want it in order? Thanks

you have to have a global integer attribute called myCurrentScene or something like that.

Then use Change Attribute
game.myCurrentScene To random(1,40)

Then, a Rule for each one:

When game.myCurrentScene is 1
Change Scene To Scene 1

When game.myCurrentScene is 2
Change Scene To Scene 2

etc...

Yeah its a lot of tedious work but its the most simple way to do it.
Copy and paste is key!

ah ok, that is tedious, thanks for the help, hope they make that simpler in the future

yes, i have 60 levels! soon to be 100.
it's in my level select screens
it's in my "try again" popup
as well as my "go to the next scene" popup

so currently i have those rules 120 times!
yes, very tedious, but it works!

Also, you can only select from levels in the drop down, so you can't do it ahead of time...

Cheers guys, that worked a treat although, when i clicked the actor to trigger the change of attribute the scene flickered very quickly with another image behind. To resolve, i had the upon touch change attribute to random(1,40), all sets of when attribute = x, change to scene x and then right at the end added another change attribute but put it back to 0, this seems to ahve stopped the flickering and is working sweet as a nut. yay, thanks again
