How do I choose 1 player out of 6 players to perform a task while the other 5 perform a different task?

$player = $players[mt_rand(0, count($players)-1];

When you use Level::getPlayers() or Server::getOnlinePlayers you cant do that for some strange reason, to bypass it do

PHP:


$numb = mt_rand(0, 5);
$c = 0;
foreach($level->getPlayers() as $p){
if($numb == $c){
$player = $p;
break;
}else{
$c++;

}}



Defining and performing incrementing on $c is redundant in this case as $c is tracking array keys but the foreach loop does this automatically

PHP:

foreach($array as $key => $value) # Or $c => $p in your case


Your code can be shortened to

PHP:

$numb = mt_rand(0, 5);
foreach($level->getPlayers() as $i => $p) {
   if($numb != $i) continue;
   return $p;
}


Or even shorter

PHP:

$players = $level->getPlayers();
$p = $players[mt_rand(0, count($players) - 1)];


Because I don't see no reason why it should not work. Can you show a way to reproduce it?

Level::getPlayers()[0] always triggers the error undefined index.

Oh sorry, I thought that is is just a one dimensional array

Why don't you use array_rand?

PHP:

$players = $this->getServer()->getOnlinePlayers();

$random = $players[array_rand($players)];

array_rand is slower and returns weird results.

You're true but if you are not using it constantly then that doesn't matter.
