SOLVED switch inside another switch statement - is my code placed in the right context?

[jobjorgos]

I have the following code in obj_canon
but why it always becomes spr_canon_up? it should have a RANDOM direction

Create event:

shoot_direction= -1
alarm[0]=45;

Alarm[0] event:

switch shoot_direction{
    case -1:
        chance = irandom(3)
        switch chance{
            case 0: sprite_index=spr_canon_up break; 
            case 1: sprite_index=spr_canon_down break; 
            case 2: sprite_index=spr_canon_left break; 
            case 3: sprite_index=spr_canon_right break; 
        }
    case 0: sprite_index=spr_canon_up break; 
    case 1: sprite_index=spr_canon_down break; 
    case 2: sprite_index=spr_canon_left break; 
    case 3: sprite_index=spr_canon_right break; 
}

You don't have a break for shoot_direction's -1 case, so case 0 ends up running, which sets the sprite to up.

You don't have a break for shoot_direction's -1 case

Ahh that was a quick solution, that worked out, it shoots in all random 4 directions now! It was hard to notice that missing break in case -1 but good u found it
