Random chance percentage
How would I make something happen by a random chance of (variable)?
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Re: Random chance percentage
use the
[blocks]<<pick random( 1 )to( 10 )> [/blocks]
block.

Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Ik, but how would I do it?
What would the full script be, say i wanted it to ask whats your name then a random variable% chance it would say thats a good name. ?

Say you wanted the chance to be 3/5, you would put:
Set 'variable' to pick random 1-5 (first number's always one, second number is the denominator of the chance)
If 'variable'=1 or 'variable'=2 or 'variable'=3 (keep going up until you reach the numerator of the chance)
Script here
Else
Other script here
If you want it to be clearer, tell me and I'll upload the scripts in a project.
By the way, the numerator is the top number in a fraction, denominator is bottom. So in my example, the numerator is 3, and the denominator is 5.

That might help then all I need is to make the fraction a percentage (easy)

Okay, I've made a project that should help you. Download it and you'll see notes explaining each part of the scripts.

If you want it to take less time than if variable = 1, 2, 3 etc. You can use something like this:
If variable > 0 and variable < 4

For something more advanced, it might also be a good idea to store results. You don't want to contradict yourself after one second!

No, what I want is for it to ask, "what percentage"
"whats your name"
then if the randomness of answer1 % it will say Yes for 2 secs
