I'm trying to make a trigger activate by a random percent not health or  a command key but just have a slow percentage of randomly activating
is that possible and how would i code it? cant seem to figure it out help would be appreciated

I think we need more info for this one.

would something like trigger1 = random < 4 work for this?

"Random" picks a random number from 0 to 999.  This happens in 1 tick.

Let me give two examples.

Example 1:
Code:
trigger1 = Time = 10
trigger1 = Random < 4

Since the first condition is only true for 1 tick, this will only pick a random number one time.  One out of 250 times, this will trigger.  Not likely to trigger.


Example 2:
Code:
trigger1 = Random < 4

Since there are no other trigger conditions, it will pick a random number every tick. So, since there are 60 ticks per second and in this case there is a 1 in 250 chance probability of triggering on any given tick -- on average, it will trigger in about 4 seconds, give or take depending on luck.

is there a way to make the state trigger with a certain amount of health and at the same time keeping it random
like you need that certain amount of health to activate but it wouldn't always happen like a 50% chance of the state triggering.
Code:
[State -1, modechange]
type=changestate
value=3400
triggerall =life <= 100&& Random < 1
trigger1= ctrl
i came up with this but not sure if this is the best way to go about it

That should work.  Increase the value if it doesn't trigger quickly enough.  As it is, it will trigger on average in about 17 seconds

try this

 [State -1, modechange]
 type=changestate
 value=3400
 triggerall =life <= 100&& Random < 250;<-----for 25% of the time
 trigger1= ctrl


 [State -1, modechange]
 type=changestate
 value=3400
 triggerall =life <= 100&& Random < 500;<-----for 50% of the time
 trigger1= ctrl

 [State -1, modechange]
 type=changestate
 value=3400
 triggerall =life <= 100&& Random < 750;<-----for 75% of the time
 trigger1= ctrl

i hope this helps

You could also try playing with this one that I put together a while back. The lower your life is, the more often it will trigger.

Code:
trigger1 = cond(Gametime% ((life/100)-1) = 0 ,random,1000) <= 999

Random values above 100 trigger far more often. Random < 250 is liable to trigger within 4 ticks. 500 within 2 and 750 within 2 as well. Basically its a guarantee to trigger.
