An Eventing Question
Mr.X98:
Hia
So i'm trying to make multiple bricks that will spawn a key at the beginning of each mini game, but the key will be in one of the random selected location.
How could this be done?
Fastlex:
You could make a projectile randomizer.
Here is a nice example.

Conan:
have a setup where there are 4 plates in a line, each evented to spawn a key at one of each different location
above the plates, have a brick evented to release a pong projectile with a spread wide enough so that it can fire a projectile that could end up hitting any one of those 4 plates. Or, have it have a 100% random spread (on the same plane as the plates) and bound the setup with bricks so the pong projectile will eventually hit one of the evented plates.
have the pong brick fire one projectile every time the minigame resets.
EDIT: goddamnit fastlex
AromaniaFTW:
find a way to use vce's randomdice
i haven't vce'd in forever but it can be done with that
Night Fox:
a simple way could be to name them all the same thing, and use VCE to give that named brick (which is actually several named bricks) a random chance of gaining a variable (with a diceroll, like aromania mentioned), and if that variable is true I guess, then make it do acheck that adds the item
but I dunno how to make sure it only spawns on one brick, or how to make sure it spawns on at least one
besides that, it's probably a really bad way to do it lol
and I'm really not sure if what I said would even work, I'd have to mess around in the game to really get you some definite stuff, which I'm probably not going to do at this hour
I'm not sure if the event to spawn an item on a brick is default or not, but I know VCE isn't (although, imo, it should be, especially since he's added other player-made addons), so you'll have to get that
