Random Assigning - Catalan_mistral - 03-04-2017 11:27 AM
Need pointing in the right direction, i'll try an explain the scenario
Say I have a list of 5 items apple,pear,banana,orange,Football
I need to pick a random item then remove it from the list, so that the next pick is a random pick from the remaining 4 items and so on and so forth, until the last pick is the last item left by default.
I know I could pick a random item then check to see if it has already been picked, and if it has been then it picks again until it finds one that hasn't been picked before, but I am presuming the larger the list the more chance of it hitting a picked item.

Using LIST would be my choice. http://wiki.spherecommunity.net/index.php?title=LIST
Pick a rand number from list.xxx.count, get that element, then remove it from the list.
