Script question(variable)

[Troodon]

Hi,
How can I make in create actor script:

geeni(my variable) is random from range: creator actor.geeni <1 && >1?

Thanks

Can you explain better what you want?

Sorry, I wrote that in hurry. There is a actor variable called "geeni". Actor SINI makes new SINI actors. I would like to make so that the 'new' SINI has almost the same geeni value than the creator SINI.
So something like:
timer: script editor: create actor: SINI | new sini's geeni value is bigger, smaller or equal to creator SINI's geeni value

It's little difficult to explain it because my english isn't perfect.

Like this? (in Create Actor event)

Code: Select all

geeni = creator.geeni + rand(10);

[Troodon]

Not exactly. Wouldn't that just add to creator.geeni a number value from 0 to 10?
I mean something like this:

Code: Select all

child.geeni = actor.geeni (-2 or -1 or 0 or +1 or +2)

[makslane]

Here:

Code: Select all

geeni = creator.geeni + round(rand(4)) - 2;

This code will give you the value of creator + (-2, -1, 0, 1, or 2)[/code]

That's working but I need the opposite of the 'creator'. I need the 'created' actor. Is it possible?

EDIT: I think I found out another way. Thanks!

EDIT 2: I couldn't find the way. I'll try to explain the whole problem with images:


In my project there is an actor called SINI. SINI has a gene (actor variable) which effects on how they look, behave etc. In this image, there is a group of common SINIs and one big and one which produces chemical to slow monsters.


A timer makes every SINI produce eggs occasionally.


After some time the egg creates new SINI.

I would like to make so that every new SINI are almost clones of their parents...their creators. However this causes many problems.
