I'm sorry to bother everyone... but for the last few days, I've been trying to get a random system for my game. You know that in pokemon RP (reborn) has random shiny pokemon? I'm making a game that is about Dragonball and you can get random Super Saiyan. If you don't know what that is you should watch the show.

Look up prob().

mob
    verb
        randomize() //randomly change your icon (as example)
            var/pick=rand(1,6) //pick is now a random number one to six
            var/pick2=pick(1,2,3,4,5,6) //Just another example... I'm only using the first\
            one though.
            if(pick<3) //if the random number was below three (you should get the point now
                src.icon='woooo.dmi'
            if(pick>3) //etc.. etc..
I only used the first random example and I left out the pick one. The perpose of it was just to show you the rand and pick procs

Also, the DM reference does have alot on these.

Works much better.

Depends for what. It won't do if you have more than 2 possible actions to take based on the randomization.

@Beatmewithastick: your last if() should really be an else instead (doing as such is what gives the extra possible action to prob(), BTW).

#define shinychance 10

proc
  GetPokemon(pokemon/P)
    if(prob(shinychance))
      P = pick(typesof(/pokemon/shiny) - list(/pokemon,/pokemon/shiny)
      new P.type(src)
    else
      P = pick(typesof(/pokemon)- list(/pokemon,typesof(/pokemon/shiny))
      new P.type(src)

prob is just a probability.
