Only three or four of my array values work, and i don't know why. If i switch the order the ones that are in the front three or four work, while the rest don't.

If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution.
I have no idea what this is for but the code looks overcomplicated. Give more context, you dont even show your declaration of level.rm.

The iscurrent is to stop the powerup from showing up twice, but it doesn't work.

Treyarch commented in the box function that its from 1-value, but i tried this anyway and it didn't work.

NVM! i fixed it!
The issue was
Code Snippet
Plaintextlevel.random = randomint(level.rm.size);randomint does one less than the actual size, in which case is 4. This caused the last powerup to not be registered. I fixed it by doing this:
Code Snippet
Plaintextlevel.random = randomint(level.rm.size + 1);HOWEVER, the iscaused still isn't working. Could someone help me out with that?

The iscurrent is to stop the powerup from showing up twice, but it doesn't work.You only ever store the most recent one, to make sure you don't pick it again right afterwards. However, the iteration after that, it can be picked again, as iscurrent now holds the new last powerup.
Also:
start_randomize() is currently useless.
current_watch() is useless, too.
model_cycle() could be made a lot shorter.

The issue is that it will randomly select the same powerup 2, 3, or even 4 times before randomizing again.
I have got rid of the unneeded functions, but what would i use to make model_cycle() shorter?

Can you use a for loop since the only thing different between the if statements is the number?
Code Snippet
Plaintext for(i=0;i<5;i++){
if(level.random == i+1 && iscurrent != level.rm[i])
{
level.powerup = level.rm[i];
iscurrent = level.powerup;
}
}
instead of
Code Snippet
Plaintext if(level.random == 1 && iscurrent != level.rm[0])
{
level.powerup = level.rm[0];
iscurrent = level.powerup;
}
if(level.random == 2 && iscurrent != level.rm[1])
{
level.powerup = level.rm[1];
iscurrent = level.powerup;
}
if(level.random == 3 && iscurrent != level.rm[2])
{
level.powerup = level.rm[2];
iscurrent = level.powerup;
}
if(level.random == 4 && iscurrent != level.rm[3])
{
level.powerup = level.rm[3];
iscurrent = level.powerup;
}
if(level.random == 5 && iscurrent != level.rm[4])
{
level.powerup = level.rm[4];
iscurrent = level.powerup;
}

When RandomInt() returns the same value a second time, your code doesn't do anything. Meaning that it will just keep the previous one for this cycle.

So how do i make sure it doesn't give the same value twice? Do i need to use a different function for randomizing the model?

Commonly, if you want a random number, but exclude a specific one in the range, you generate random numbers, until you get one that is not equal to the one you don't want.
You could also be using a randomized array in your case.
Etc. etc.
