Triggered Item Drop, problems

[TwoHeadedBoy]

I already have a basic item drop trigger for a quest item. It goes as follows:


Event:
Unit - A unit dies

Condition:
Owner of (Killing unit) equal to Player 1
Unit type of dying unit equal to Spider

Action:
Set Questlootp1 = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
- If Then, Else:
Condition:
If Questlootp1 equal to 1
Then:
Create [Quest Item] at (Position of Dying unit)



ok so all that looks good. the problem is that i am getting more of a 1 in 10 chance to get the item, rather than a 1 in 4 chance. For the quest you need to get 4 of these items, so you should have to kill an average of 16 spiders for this quest. For the last 3-5 times ive tested the map I have had to kill 25+ spiders in order to get the 4 item i need.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?



And just another general question: Is this the best non-JASS item drop trigger that i can be using? I can't use item tables because I have a creep revive trigger... or can I? Are there better triggers that allow you to be more precise with the % chances without having to do something like this:
Set VARIABLE = random # between 1 and 100
Or Condtions:
If variable equal to 1
If variable equal to 2
if variable equal to 3
...etc

There's nothing wrong with that trigger. Remember, it's based off chance, you may have to kill 500230923509283590283 spiders in order to get all 4 items, or you may need just 4. As for better triggers, your trigger is about as short as it can be.

Open the map.
Go to file => Preference => Test Map

Uncheck "Use Fixed Random Seed"

That may make a difference.
