Random % to pick variable

05-01-2005, 03:50 AM

I'm having trouble picking 1 of 6 variables based on %. Like 0%-10% would equal 1. And just in case your wondering I know how to do it but I don't want to use if statments. It's just too messy.

Heres what I have so far.

Code:

S Terrain Copy
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- Terrain Types --------
        Set Terrain_Type[1] = Lordaeron Summer - Dirt
        Set Terrain_Type[2] = Lordaeron Summer - Rough Dirt
        Set Terrain_Type[3] = Lordaeron Summer - Grassy Dirt
        Set Terrain_Type[4] = Lordaeron Summer - Rock
        Set Terrain_Type[5] = Lordaeron Summer - Grass
        Set Terrain_Type[6] = Lordaeron Summer - Dark Grass

Raptor--	you want weighted randomness or just standard? standard just say Terrain_Type[Math - random number between 1 and 6]

I wanted to give each number 1-6 a % chance to be picked.

Anyways I think I've found a way. Thanks anyways.

Guest	Set RandomnessVariable to a random number between 1 to 100. Then if RandomnessVariable more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 10, do whatever. For the next set use 11 to whatever.
