Trigger probability chance

[DirtyDel 14]

Guys, I really tried posting a new new topic as a last resort. Syntax can get so frustrating. It gets to a point where I'm wasting so much time trying to figure it out.

 

I'm trying to get a trigger that has a 50% activation chance when blufor is present within.

 

Trigger 100m

Activation [BLUFOR]

Activation type [Present]

 

What I've tried in  condition:

 

this && ceil random 2 < 1 (no activation)

this && ceil random 2 > 1 (activates every time)

this && ceil random 1> 2 (no activation)

this && ceil random 1<2 (activates every time)

random 2; (no activation)

this && random 2 > 1

[killzone_kid 1326]

this && random 1 < 0.5, but you cannot have repeated activation ticked, because it will just randomly activate deactivate, should be set to activate once

Neither of those worked. It was activation every time. I'm struggling here.

Wait of course it will happen every time, condition is checked every 0.5 seconds so early or later the random condition will become true and it will activate. You need to generate random number outside the trigger, or even better randomly remove some triggers

Put this in OnActivation before your code:

if (random 1 < 0.5) exitWith {deleteVehicle thisTrigger}; //.... rest of the code here

 Condition is just 

this

I think I understand what you're saying: all of the "random # < #" commands are based on time?

 

once i understood what you meant, i perceived it differently. so this is how i did it:

 

placed a character down with 50% presence in a trigger (trg1) activated by him.

 

activated the next trigger i want to activate with the my player by putting in the condition triggeractivated trg1 

 

simple and effective.

It is neither simple nor effective, but if you want to do it this way it is your choice

You can skip the trigger and check for isNil "bob" (your 50% guy) instead of triggerActivated trg1

From what you described it should work exactly how you intended, but I will not argue with you
