How to arrange the chance of firing for a random event ?

[unity100]

I have read the event modding article in wiki. it mentions something about setting a chance for a random event to fire, but it doesnt give an example or tell how to do it. can anyone tell me how to set a chance for a random event ?

I'd recommend just poking around in the event files to see if you can find an example.

i did, but i couldnt find any of them which sets the chance of occuring to a percentage, despite the guide in wiki mentions.

event={

	id = 24065
	random = yes
	invention = no

	picture = fire

  	name= "EVT_24065_NAME"
  	desc= "EVT_24065_DESC"



	action_a = {
		name= "ACTIONNAME24065A"
		  command = { type = resource_perc which = coal value = -33 }
	}
}

According to Vicky Wiki it seems that what you would do is replace:

	random = yes

with:

	random = %%

I assume the %% would be a decimal, but it is possible it is 33 for 33%.

Even so, I have never heard of this ability. It was my understanding that random = yes meant the event was random. I also assume that setting the percentage would also require a lot of triggers because unless the percent is very low (like .001%), it will occur so often the game would likely become slow.

well yes, i tried that. and didnt get any result. maybe i should try offset 30 or something, despite the chance of slowdown.

True, you could also add the trigger (human = yes) for testing purposes.
