I just stumbled upon one detail I cannot solve. I want to make a certain event or a special that would occur if let say, hypothetically, your dexterity is high enough. But to avoid setting an exact amount, I wanted to make it more likely to happen if your dex is higher. Like for example: (dex x 5)% of happening or something So that even if you hadn't 20 dex it could happen - you would just need to try more times, like rolling dice, if you get what I mean ... Thanks in advance ------------------------------------ Look! It's my one hundredth post! A time for celebration! ...

Probably just set this to 1. y- smallest number each die can come up. z - largest number each die can come up. So put something like if(get_highest_skill(1) >= get_ran(1,1,20)). In this case, it is possible for it to occur even if your highest dexterity is only 1, but its only a 5% chance. -------------------- Guaranteed to blow your mind. Frostbite: Get It While It's......
