random integer probability

[blurished]

for example an action like
(Random integer number between 1 and 4) Equal to 1
thats 25% chance right?
so i hv this unit who can cast a spell which summons 4 kind of elemental, each for 25% chance.
but sometimes when the spell is used, the unit will not summon anything (basically cast the dummy spell ignoring the trigger)
Help please!

Because you have a new random integer for every If/Then/Else. You might want to have a local variable to save one random integer, then check the value of the variable instead.

Erm...can you help me walk through that?

 

[tommerbob]

At the top of the trigger editor is a "X" button. Push it. Create a new Integer variable. Then in your trigger as the first action, do this:

Set IntegerVariable = (random number between 1 and 4)

And then do your actions, and in your condition, check what number the IntegerVariable is.

In the bottom left corner of every post there are two symbols: a Sheriff's badge or asterisk symbol, and an Alert symbol. Click the Asterisk symbol.
