Code:

sub EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE {
	if(quest::ChooseRandom(0..3) == 0) {
		quest::say("I am free of this mortal cell! Prepare for my wrath!");
		quest::spawn(quest::ChooseRandom(123..125), 0, 0, $x, $y, $z);
	}
}

Code:

perl -c checkcode.pl

Thank your for all the feed back and info from everyone. Being able to condense that down to three lines showed me some new stuff. the ChooseRandom I hadn't seen before. Could you use that to pick between numbers that are not X..X but instead a list of numbers. Like if i did ChooseRandom(123, 125, 1001, 2005)? Or even have both ChooseRandom(123, 125, 1001..2005)?

Yes.

Also, having read atrayas post just now, I see I missed you stated you wanted a 20% chance (4:1 odds), thus change:

Code:

if(quest::ChooseRandom(0..3) == 0) {

to

Code:

if(quest::ChooseRandom(0..4) == 0) {

as the prior is 3:1 odds, or 25% chance.
