Random query?

[sleek flicker]

I remember there being a random query or thing I could use to randomize whether the query would return true but I'm not finding it in the documentation. Does anyone know what it is? it plugs in where a query would normally go in the animation controller and returns 0 or 1 randomly

math.random, math.random_integer

both take 2 variables, a min and max. It returns a random value between those two

Thank you! do you know where I can find syntax examples?

{ "test": "math.random_integer(0,5)=5"}?

[willow wing]

no: "test": "math.random(1, 4) == 3"

= is an operation that sets a variable, == is a comparator that checks if 2 values are equal

[sleek flicker]

my bad. Thank you!

It will only add a slight delay though, conditions in animation controllers are ran each tick.

You'll need to define a variable prior to entering the state and check if that variable is equal to a value (you will need an escape state to make sure that it doesnt just transition to the check, then stay there until you reglog)

to define a variable, you can just do this

{
  "check_rnd": "v.rand_int = math.random_integer(1,4); return query.is_jumping;"
}

Does that go in the states as its own state?

[willow wing]

I'm not sure what you mean by that

Ohh wait nvm

[sleek flicker]

where do I paste the variable in the animation controler?

[willow wing]

The variable goes before your transition query

So the state before you are checking against the random value

[sleek flicker]

that makes sense. So it gets defined randomly each time that state gets entered?

If you have a sample file that uses it I would appreciate seeing it in context, although you've already helped a ton. I should be able to work from documentation now

Thanks again!
