Warrior General Games

Several things off the top of my head (removes some hair) HA HA, I'm so witty. Anyway, a few questions about "Outputs/Inputs".

A) It is my understanding that the total %'s do NOT need to add 100%. The script 'rolls' on each input until there is a successful score. Is this correct? If so, will it recycle through the list until it finally rolls an answer? As a DC, should I have a "100%" in every output just as a failsafe?

B) Is there away to reorder the "Outputs" for an "Input"? I do not want to change the % chance a play is called, I just want to change the priority in which said output is rolled. Do I need to create new outputs every time?

C) Going along the lines of question B, I have tried recreating "outputs" based on my assumptions, and they are not being ordered the way I want, for example, the rule that I created last (that I give a 100% to call), shows up in the middle. I then tried creating it first, it still ended up in the middle. How do I fix this? (better?) :-P

D) Thank you for helping me.

A) Good practice I guess. No real need
B) No, seems to reorder itself, but it doesn't work top down like inputs, so order isn't important
C) This doesn't appear to be a question, but hopefully 2) sorted you out
D) Also, not a question, but glad to

How do "Outputs" work then? I would appreciate an answer on this, although I will be checking the wiki in a few moments to see what I can find out.

Okay this is my guess

20% output 1 --> allocate numbers 1 - 20
30% output 2 --> allocate numbers 21 - 50
40% output 3 --> allocate numbers 51 - 90

SUM 90

Pick a random number between 1 and 90, refer to number allocations above to get your output.

Of course the actual coding is unknown but this would be my best guess.

Ah - that is a pretty good guess too

If it's coded any other way than this, I'd be awfully surprised.
