Hi. 

So my friend (known as MadSETIResearcher on the site) is making a storygame and he asked me to help him with the coding. So basically that means I do all the coding and script and he does the story. I'm cool with that, no problem there.

But he wants a particular feature that I'm not even sure is able to be put into a storygame.

Ratio changes.

So what he wants is:

IF VARIABLE = # Then the player will have a higher chance of encountering a particular enemy using the random encounters feature.

Is this possible and if so, HOW IN THE NAME OF FRICK DO I DO IT???????

Please help me! 

So... are there two steps here?

If variable is x, then they have a y percent chance of a random encounter?

With a particular enemy, yes.

IF %VARIABLE > 0 THEN
IF %VARIABLE < 5 THEN
%RANDVAR := 1D5

That's the gist.

Thanks James. You've been a big help! My friend will be very happy! 

:)

You're welcome. Just break the numbers into intervals (1 to 5, 6 to 10, 11 to 15, etc.) and use IF-Then statements. Also, if your friend has an account, why couldn't he or she ask?

Didn't see this post until a lot later. He is very very very new to the site and needs my help on EVERYTHING! Also, he doesn't have internet access at home, and at school he is loaded with homework (while I'm not for some reason O_o) so I had to ask for him. And I'll try that, thanks again!
