In a flow
“Works out weighted random whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
Common: 70, Rare: 25, Legendary: 5 → Rare
What it does
Pick a choice at random, with some more likely than others. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 2 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: pick a choice at random, with some more likely than others.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Choices Text
-
Each choice with its weight, split by commas, like Common: 70, Rare: 25, Legendary: 5.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses Common: 70, Rare: 25, Legendary: 5.
