Can't understand something in Krall's code.

[SFJake]

Code: Select all

function PlayTakeHit(float tweentime, vector HitLoc, int damage)
{
      local carcass carc;
      local LeglessKrall rep;
      local pawn OtherPawn;

      if ( (Health > 30) || (damage < 24) || (HitLoc.Z > Location.Z) || (FRand() < 0.6) || Level.Game.bVeryLowGore )
      {
            Super.PlayTakeHit(tweentime, HitLoc, damage);
            return;
      }

      carc = Spawn(class 'CreatureChunks',,, Location - CollisionHeight * vect(0,0,0.5), Rotation + rot(3000,0,16384) );
      if (carc != None)
      {
            carc.Mesh = mesh'KrallFoot';
            carc.Initfor(self);
            carc.Velocity = Velocity + VSize(Velocity) * VRand();
            carc.Velocity.Z = FMax(carc.Velocity.Z, Velocity.Z);
      }
      carc = Spawn(class 'CreatureChunks',,, Location - CollisionHeight * vect(0,0,0.5), Rotation + rot(3000,0,16384) );
      if (carc != None)
      {
            carc.Mesh = mesh'KrallFoot';
            carc.Initfor(self);
            carc.Velocity = Velocity + VSize(Velocity) * VRand();
            carc.Velocity.Z = FMax(carc.Velocity.Z, Velocity.Z);
      }

      SetCollision(false, false, false);
      OtherPawn = Level.PawnList;
      while ( OtherPawn != None )
      {
            OtherPawn.Killed(enemy, self, '');
            OtherPawn = OtherPawn.nextPawn;
      }
      if ( CarriedDecoration != None )
            DropDecoration();
      TriggerEvent(Event,Self,Enemy);
      Level.Game.DiscardInventory(self);
      Velocity.Z *= 1.3;
      rep = Spawn(class'LeglessKrall');
      if (rep!=none)
            rep.InitFor(self);
      destroy();
}

I'm trying to manipulate the odds of a LeglessKrall spawning when a new Krall is killed. This is the only part of the code where LeglessKrall is referenced, yet, there is nothing random about it. But it clearly doesn't spawn all the time or even often at all.

What am I missing?

[Bleeder91[NL]]

first line there's a FRand().
So if all the things such as health damage and hitlocation match, there's a 40% chance that it goes legless.

Well that wasn't hard.

I shouldn't check those things when its late and I'm tired.

Thanks.
