Talk:GetRandomPercent

Is this similar to Morrowind's Random100 function, or can it be used in the same manner? The Imperial Dragon 12:58, 11 June 2006 (EDT)

Random100 (as one word) in Morrowind was a global that was set to 0-100 once per frame (in the script "Main")

set variable to GetRandomPercent 

in Oblivion is the same as

set variable to Random 100

in Morrowind and will return a new random number ranging from 0-99 whenever you call it.

I see, thank you. The Imperial Dragon 13:44, 11 June 2006 (EDT)

JOG 17:33, 29 July 2006 (EDT): Here's the math behind the first example:

short dice
set dice to 1 + 0.06 * GetRandompercent  

1 + int(0.06 * 0) = 1 + 0 = 1

1 + int(0.06 * 16) = 1 + int(0.96) = 1 + 0 = 1 => Chance: 17%

1 + int(0.06 * 17) = 1 + int(1.02) = 1 + 1 = 2

1 + int(0.06 * 33) = 1 + int(1.98) = 1 + 1 = 2 => Chance: 17%

1 + int(0.06 * 34) = 1 + int(1.02) = 1 + 2 = 3

1 + int(0.06 * 49) = 1 + int(2.94) = 1 + 2 = 3 => Chance: 16%

1 + int(0.06 * 50) = 1 + int(3.00) = 1 + 3 = 4

1 + int(0.06 * 66) = 1 + int(3.96) = 1 + 3 = 4 => Chance: 17%

1 + int(0.06 * 67) = 1 + int(4.02) = 1 + 4 = 5

1 + int(0.06 * 83) = 1 + int(4.98) = 1 + 4 = 5 => Chance: 17%

1 + int(0.06 * 84) = 1 + int(5.04) = 1 + 5 = 6

1 + int(0.06 * 99) = 1 + int(5.94) = 1 + 5 = 6 => Chance: 16%
