How to create a percent chance to upgrade for a tower in a TD?

What would the trigger look like? I want to make a 10% chance to get a different tower on upgrade rather than the one you were originally supposed to get. So either way the tower upgrades, but there's a 10% chance to get a different, special tower and a 90% chance to get the regular upgrade.

I started off the trigger with the events A unit owned by player 1,2,3, etc... finishes an upgrade.
Then the condition was going to be unit-type equals pre-upgraded tower


I don't know where to go from there. Thanks in advance.

Try something with this:
Trigger:
  • Actions
    • Set Percent[1] = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
    • (Percent[1] Greater than or equal to 0) and (Percent[1] Less than or equal to 10)
    • Then - Actions
    • Else - Actions


Where "Percent[1]" is Integer Variable. And be sure to uncheck "Use Fixed Random Seed" under "File/Preferences/TestMap".

First off, the event Finishes an upgrade may be different than what you're thinking. I believe when it says upgrades it means things like Iron Forged Swords in ladder games, so you probably may not be using the right kind of event. I could be wrong on that since I haven't looked too deeply into upgrades, but that's my initial concern.

You're using an array variable there that doesn't need to be, so it'd just be Set Percent = (blah). Also, I don't think the Percent Greater than or equal to 0 check is necessary because the Less than or equal to 10 check covers it. It's previously set to somewhere between 1 and 100 so it can't be less than 0 anyway.

That aside, looking at how it was set up your special upgrade is going to go in the Then actions and normal upgrade is going in the Else actions.

Yes, thats right, as well as:

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
