[XP] - Need Help with Random generating!!

[Csoda 0]

Im tryung to do a system in wich you geat a random ammoun of an item then when you go to the vending machien it will give you an item corisponding to the amount of the item you have, i tried it using the method as shown in my image, can anyone suggest an easier way for me to randomly distibute items? or fix my method?

one thing you can do is ok lets say...

 

you have 10 possible items right?

 

so your random generator will range from 1 ~ 10

 

after that just do a conditional branch WITHOUT HANDLING for each variable.

 

so in a nut shell.

 

Control Variable: "###:random Gen" Random 1 - 10

Conditional Branch: When Variable "###:random Gen" = 1

-Give item 1

Conditional Branch: when variable "###:random Gen" = 2

-Give item 2

 

Idk exactly what the problem is but it may be because you put everything under an ELSE for the conditional branch. if you take HANDLING off, then you wont even see the "else"

 

to back quick and untested theory out, i think if you get anything aside from the 1st stated conditional branch, then it goes to the else which states it has to be something else... basically i believe if the random number comes to say the 4th choice, it has no way to travel directly to it.

 

in your picture, it looks like you're trying to do something completely different, but i did this explanation based off your post...

You basically described a shop system.

 

I think I can see an error in your screenshot. At the start of the event processing, you need to have a 'Control Variables' command which randomizes your variable RandomSet1 within the range you want. From the looks of it, the variable is set to 0, so no conditions of the conditional branches are being met.

 

Make sense?
