Are random chance conditions based on a second to second basis?

If I put a fire damage effect on a target with a duration of 10 seconds, but give it a condition to happen with a random chance of 50%, will the fire damage have a 50% chance of happening at all... or will each second have a 50% chance of fire damage?

If the latter is the case, is there a way to make the entire effect based on the random chance?

Thank you!

I would assume that the chance is a one time thing, saying whether the entire 10 second effect happens or not. You could potentially instead make it a 1s effect, with like a 90% chance of reapply the effect when it ends. So there is a 90% chance of them being on fire for 1 seconds, then a .81% chance of them being on fire to a total of 2 seconds, etc. Though that would also have a small chance of going on forever, so you'd want to find a way to limit to to a total of 10 seconds or something.

Then again, I've barely looked into the new scripting or effect stuff, so these are just ideas.

Thank you

It is odd, though. I have a 60 second bleeding effect. In fact, I've got it applied several times on one spell.

I've got it set to do...

100% chance of 1 damage every second
75% chance of 2 damage every second
50% chance of 3 damage every second
25% chance of 4 damage every second

That should give a possibility of 1-10 points of damage every second.

I strike a target one time, then watch the health gauge. The speed of drain seems to increase and decrease sporadically throughout the effect

You could make a spell for each of the random possibilities and then a spell/ench with a scripted effect that does the randomisation and apply one of those spells to the target.

This is what I mean;

Scriptname BleedScript extends activemagiceffectimport utilitySpell property BleedA autoSpell property BleedB autoSpell property BleedC autoSpell property BleedD autoint randEffect = 0EVENT onEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)	BleedA(akTarget)	randEffect = utility.randomInt(1, 4)	If (randEffect < 4)		BleedB(akTarget)	ElseIf (randEffect < 3)		BleedB(akTarget)		BleedC(akTarget)	ElseIf (randEffect < 2)		BleedB(akTarget)		BleedC(akTarget)		BleedD(akTarget)	EndIfendEventFunction BleedA(ACTOR targ)	BleedA.Cast(targ, targ)EndFunctionFunction BleedB(ACTOR targ)	BleedB.Cast(targ, targ)EndFunctionFunction BleedC(ACTOR targ)	BleedC.Cast(targ, targ)EndFunctionFunction BleedD(ACTOR targ)	BleedD.Cast(targ, targ)EndFunction

Claw seems to have the best way to tackle this problem, unless there is a way in the script to cast a spell, and define its maginitude within the script? That way you only need one bleedspell and you cna define the damage it does when you call it. That would be sweet and efficient

Ah, thank you
I'll have to dive into scripting!
