Look up rand(), dice(), and prob() with F1 or the reference. I cant remember if the FAQ has an entry about it, but try to look anyways

Heres an example with rand()

mob/verb/Change_Random(ran as num, ranover as num)
if(rand(ran) > ranover)
icon = 'Booya_You_Passed.dmi'
else
icon = 'Awwwwwww.dmi'

.....

if(prob(25))
icon = 'lalala.dmi'
else if(prob(50))
icon = 'lalalalalala.dmi'

Havent used prob() yet but I think thats how its used

Sigh...Do you need it handfed? There are LOTS of ways to do it, and Ive given you info on all of them. If you dont understand them, read the FAQ, and the guide. Those proc's are very simple to use.

var/lala = rand(1,10)
switch(lala)
if(1)
// lala

var/rand_prob = prob(rand(1,100))
if(rand_prob <= 25)
// whatever
else if(rand_prob <= 50)
// ...you get it

You weren't supposed to copy it as written either. You should spend more time learning the basics.

I was referring more to your code layout in general. You always need to put things into procs belonging to the appropriate objects.
