Math Expression Issue (Multiple Intervals)

[akrep_ve_su]

I am planning to make a new creep spawn system that spawns random creeps based on random number between 0-100. The table is something like this:

CS Table

0-25 = Zombie
26-33 = Mutated Bat
34-65 = Ghoul
66-72 = Forgotten One
73-80 = Abomination
81-85 = Fiend
86-90 = Stalker
90-95 = Glowing One
96-100 = Dreadlord

I was planning to use If/Then/Else function to achieve what I want. But then, it occured to me that -for instance- using ... equal or greater than 34, it is going to spawn Ghouls as well as anything else above integer value 34. So how should I make this system? Is it possible to tell game engine to check if X integer fulfills following condition (in GUI?): 34 < x z 65 in

Why don't you just use a normal integer array to store the unit type, then randomly pick an index?

• Actions
  • Set i = (Random integer number between 1 and 100)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • i Less than 30
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- spawn unit 1 --------
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • i Less than 60
        • Then - Actions
          • -------- spawn unit 1 --------
        • Else - Actions
          • -------- spawn unit 3 --------

1-29 unit 1
30-59 unit 2
60-100 unit 3

60-100 unit 3

Briliant idea. I haven't been able to test it yet but looks logical =)

Exactly maker Thats where the "Else" part of the If/Then/Else trigger becomes useful.

Lol, It didn't occured to me, really. But this "dice" system is more adjustable due to higher range (interval) so I'll use this one =) Thanks for the suggestion though.

As you develop further and further into programming, getting into more complex stuff, the "else" part becomes extremely critical.

You could just loop through dual arrays, 1 containing number and other type until the number exceeds the random rolled number and if so spawn the creep of that index's type.
