I was thinking about making a kind of radio receiver thing that when used, will give you a random message with help on the mod, but how could I randomize it? If you have a solution, let me know! (NOTE: I am not wanting this to be a block)

Try creating a local number variable and in a procedure set it to random [0,1]
Then make an if statement to test if it is 0 or 1 and put the messages in those.
This might also help.

If you don't want a 50/50 randomiser but want to have, say 5 messages of which 1 has to appear at random: 1/8 = 0.125.PROCEDURE:


Set random_local_variable to random[0,1]

if random_local_variable < 0.125

do message 1

else if random_local_variable < 0.125 * 2

do message 2

else if random_local_variable < 0.125 * 3

do message 3

else if random_local_variable < 0.125 * 4

do message 4

else

do message 5

EDIT: the 0.125 was meant for 8 results. change that number to 1/5 = 0.2
