Random event timing

[johnv2pt0]

Hey guys,

 

I'd like to have the players fly to a point and hold for a random amount of time before getting tasked on a mission.

 

I have a flag that is on a switched condition and gets checked every 30 seconds. It has a random 1% condition attached to it but it always gets checked as true within the first 2 minutes or so.

 

The logic is working fine, but the random seems to not be so random... I can just lengthen out the amount of time before the switched condition flag flip to a minute or two or whatever, but I don't want to do that if I can help it.

 

Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks ~

I think you could try to play with SET RANDOM FLAG VALUE instead of random %, but it requires more setting up in ME. I'd have to take a look at how it should be done in detail, but the general idea would be:

 

1. At the point chosen by you to make a trigger setting random flag value between 1-100 and then use a switch condition for that to change the random value if previous value between 1-99 was true;

 

2. If the value 100 is true, then you can have whatever other flag you need set as true, starting your event.

 

Hope that makes sense!

That does make sense. I'll have to play around with it a bit. Thanks man ~

I had in the past, but I don't remember the random timing section. Thanks
