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)


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 * 99) = 1 + int(5.94) ) 1 + 5 = 6
