I know to choose randomly between 2 objects, you create an attribute that is valued at 50 and then you have the computer choose randomly between 0 and 100 and if the attribute is greater than the chosen number, you pick one actor and if it is less than, you chose the other. How would you do that for 4 actors?

    Use the CHANGE ATTRIBUTE behaviour: game.YOUR SPAWN ATTRIBUTE to random(1,4)

    Something like this:

    Set up a game attribute called "pickActor"

    then when you need to pick the random actor do this:

    Change Attribute pickActor to random(1,4)


    Set up 4 Rules:

    Rule 1:

    If pickActor = 1 then pick your first actor here.

    Rule 2:

    If pickActor = 2 then pick your second actor here.

    Rule 3:

    If pickActor = 3 then pick your third actor here.

    Rule 4:

    If pickActor = 4 then pick your fourth actor here.


    Then you have randomly picked 1 of the possible 4 actors.

    Exactly the same way, but choose randomly between the numbers 1 and 4, then each number has a 25% chance of being picked.

    So what would the attribute (in the other example 50) be since there is 4 numbers and only < and >?

    You can have 4 rules, one for each number.

    If ATTRIBUTE = 1 then

    If ATTRIBUTE = 2 then

    Would there be 4 attributes instead of 1 and the thing would be if attribute is = to random #?

    If ATTRIBUTE = 1 then

    If ATTRIBUTE = 2 then

    Wait is it the same attribute each time?

    One attribute where you use: random(1,4)

    Do you guys have any examples of this? I would love to see a proj file with the option of being able to chose your character at the beginning of the game.
