wow. thats so simple I can't believe that stumped me. Looking at a problem to long leaves you blind i guess =)

I've been having an issue coming up with a good method to implement random item drops when monsters are destroyed in an RPG i'm working on. I need to come up with a way to do the following.

1. set the odds that an item will drop (10% chance each time)

2. Some items I want to drop and then never be able to drop again

3. some items have increasing/decreasing odds of dropping.

Any suggestions on good ways to implement this?

Just write 2 separate events

System var1=0 -> DO

System var1=10 -> DO

Is there an easy way to do this so when i display a numeric variable such as 10000 it will show up in text as 10,000.

If you just use the set invisible on an entire layer, you can add stuff to that layer without having to put in anymore "custom" stuff to it.

Also, It might be helpful to add an "Arcade" section to the "How do I" thread and add the link above and call it "Updating games in the Arcade"?

I'm new to this, and not 100% sure I'm tracking your issue. Shouldn't your final line be Text -> set text to Valor

Your current code looks like it's setting it to the Respuesta.valor (which is your textbox.Var).

Thank you much. Weird that this did not show up when I searched the forum. Thanks again!

Quick question.

I had read a post stating that you could not update games in the arcade. However I also so that the forum post was about a month and a half old, and Tom had stated that it would be supported soon. Has this ability been added yet? I would like to upload an incomplete game for some feedback and advice, but not going to do so unless it can be updated.

I looked around the forum and did a search but could find no follow up stating that it was supported yet.

That is great Kyatric!!!!!! 5 minutes look at this CapX has accomplished more than all I read in the Ho can I section or the manual section. I guess I learn best seeing it in action. I think i can better understand the manual now though. Thanks a ton!

I'll take another look around there Kyatric. I'll figure this out yet <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Anybody willing to show a quick example of organizing buttons using an array? I've been messing with arrays for many hours and with my limited knowledge I just can't figure out how they work. A CapX would be very nice.
