[JASS] Item Pools

[Starquizer]

Can item pools have a chance not to drop an item or it must always drop an item ?

set the chance to 0.00

set the chance to 0.00

That's a vague solution.

function DropItem takes nothing returns nothing
     local itempool ip = CreateItemPool()
     call ItemPoolAddItemType(ip, 'I001', 1)
     call ItemPoolAddItemType(ip, 'I002', 1)
     call ItemPoolAddItemType(ip, 'I003', 1)
     call ItemPoolAddItemType(ip, 'I004', 1)
endfunction

That means that 'I001' , 'I002' , 'I003' and 'I004' all have equal chance 25% of being dropped, 0 chance means that the item has no chance of dropping but what I wanted is that the 4 items has 20% chance (total 80%) of dropping and the remaining 20% is not to drop any item. I hope you understand what I need.

yeah i do then use a wrapper on the function which orders units to drop the items with:

if GetRandomInteger(0,9) <= 2 then
drop
endif

A random guess:
call ItemPoolAddItemType(ip, 0, 1)

It may or may not work.

we already had this i was misunderstanding in begin too but now i think i got solution see some posts above

furthermore @Starquizer i would use a globals itempool since they dont need to be destroyed and can be referred to more easiliy
