Can you make Dice?

Like a 50/50 chances of either one of two events happening??

you can set a variable to 1d2 and then have two links, one visible if the variable = 1 and a different link visible if variable = 2.

this seems to work in a game i'm making, anyway.

Yeah, that's how you make dice: (whatever number)d(whatever number).

riiiiiight i have no idea how to do that! can somebody provide a step by step tutorial?

anyone?

Yes I can Dont really want to though.  Its advanced editor.  There's probably a thousand posts and an article about it.

A link maybe? I have had a look! but can't find anything!

Go to Help & Info and choose solostrike's "Working with Variables" article. 

Java stole my sign avatar idea! rofl.

enable scripting.

On the page that you want the dice roll to happen, make a link.

Clikc the link script icon.

Enter:

%DICEVARIABLE := 1D2

IF %DICEVARIABLE = 1 THEN
$DEST := @P2
ELSE
$DEST := @P3

Basically, it rolls a dice and stores it into a variable. It then evaluates whether it was 1 or 2 and takes the course of action. Substiute @P2 with @P4, @P5 or whatever page you want.

cool thanx

No problem, if you need more help, check out the scripting articles in the help section.

Good on ya Solo
