rare start

[winter viper]

how do i make it so that when the game boots up theres a (number)% chance of it happening?

[sacred moon]

make a variable using https://manual.yoyogames.com/GameMaker_Language/GML_Reference/Maths_And_Numbers/Number_Functions/random_range.htm then have a check to see if the number matches a certain number and if it does change scene room or whatever. So like rareStart = random_range(1, 10); than if(rareStart = 10) { targetRoom = SecretRoom}

the example i gave is a 1 in 10 chance

but you can change the range to be like 1 in 100

you would have to put this code before whenever the game loads\

send it in code form pls

i mean thats all theres to it!

there isnt much to code

its just a matter of where you place it!

[winter viper]

like this

i mean if you set the range from anywhere between 1 and 1 its like youre just saying rare_start = 1

you should probably put the variate in the create section of the object

variable*

then in the begin step part of the object, place the if statement

then have the room you start in a blank room, drag this object into that blank

add an else after the if

that says

else { targetRoom = starting room}

also targetRoom is written targetRoom not target_room

oh mb!

retract that

room_goto(targetRoom);

you can set it to whatever you want

hahah

i forgot it was a few days since i wrote that

so your create code should have rare_start = random_range(1,10); and room_goto(target_room);

then your begin step code should be
