Generating percentages.

[klavan]

Look at this:

_Unit = _this select 0
_s1 = _this select 1
_s2 = _this select 2
_s3 = _this select 3
_s4 = _this select 4
_HQ = _this select 5

_number = Random 100

~5
?(_number <= 35) : goto "Exit"
?(_number > 35) && (_number <= 45) : goto "1Left"
?(_number > 45) && (_number <= 55) : goto "2Left"
?(_number > 55) && (_number <= 65) : goto "3Left"
?(_number > 65) : goto "DeadPlan"

I think I't's clear that I'm trying to generate a number usefull for a percentage-chance event. Nevertheless, after 30 and more tests, the result is always the same ("DeadPlan", line 13). I've tried to change the random-generated number (line 7) and the the results of the variables (lines 9 to 13), but nothing seem to be helpfull.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
A rookie.

Can't see anything wrong with it. It should work just the way it is, unless the error is somewhere further in your script ie. in the bookmarks.

/edit
You're not using it in a multiplayer mission are you?

not really helping finding whats wrong... but im wondering why u've set your script out the way you have - u dont need to set both ends of the paramters at all... just the higher one and make sure they're in order... so your script will become:

Code: [Select]

_Unit = _this select 0
_s1 = _this select 1
_s2 = _this select 2
_s3 = _this select 3
_s4 = _this select 4
_HQ = _this select 5

_number = Random 100

~5
?_number <= 35 : goto "Exit"
?_number <= 45  ) : goto "1Left"
?_number <= 55  : goto "2Left"
?_number <= 65  : goto "3Left"
?_number <= 100 : goto "DeadPlan"

remember the script reads things in order, so you only need to state each higher end of the parameter, not both ends

1) Because this is my first attempt with the "Random" , I've tested It adding only a TiltleText-line to the bookmarks, to verify the exactness of the syntax in the preview. But the result is always the same....for past 40 times.....  :-\
2) I'm creating this script for a SP mission.

No changes...after 12 tests.
Last syntax:

; Unit selection
_Unit = _this select 0

; Percentage generator
_number = Random 100

; Consequence selection
~5
?_number <= 35 : goto "WellDone"
?_number <= 45 : goto "1Left"
?_number <= 55 : goto "2Left"
?_number <= 65 : goto "3Left"
?_number <= 100 : goto "DeadPlan"

#WellDone
Titletext ["1","Plain down"]

#1Left
Titletext ["2","Plain down"]

#2Left
Titletext ["3","Plain down"]

#3left
Titletext ["4","Plain down"]

#DeadPlan
Titletext ["5","Plain down"]

See now it's just what I said it would be. You'r not exiting the script after it jumps to a certain bookmark. The script swoops through all the bookmarks and the last titletext will be shown, in this case "5"

Code: [Select]

; Unit selection
_Unit = _this select 0

; Percentage generator
_number = Random 100

; Consequence selection
~5
?_number <= 35 : goto "WellDone"
?_number <= 45 : goto "1Left"
?_number <= 55 : goto "2Left"
?_number <= 65 : goto "3Left"
?_number <= 100 : goto "DeadPlan"

#WellDone
Titletext ["1","Plain down"]
exit
#1Left
Titletext ["2","Plain down"]
exit
#2Left
Titletext ["3","Plain down"]
exit
#3left
Titletext ["4","Plain down"]
exit
#DeadPlan
Titletext ["5","Plain down"]
exit
