And you should start from easiest function. With 50% of skill if its 50.0. The chance to get last ELSEIF is about 1:30000. You really want this ?
If you could declare random value in the beginning of the script. etc
x = EVAL RAND(500) + SKILL if player have 50% skill and he rolls 100, x would be 150 then declaring chances

if X >= 550 then
function1 (rarest)
elseif x >= 400 then
function2
elseif x >= 300 then
function3
elseif x < 300 then
function4

function1 gona happen 1:500 times with 50% skill and 50:500 with 100% skill
function 2 gona happen 150:500 times with 50% skill and 200:500 with 100% skill
function 3 gona happen 250:500 times with 50% skill and 300:500 with 100% skill
and function4 gona happen 350:500 times with 50% skill and 400:500 with 100% skill

Thank you, a lot!
I did what you said with a simple LOCAL and I could make the things happen, plus, making my char say the numbers rolled.

After evaluation skill value should be 10times higher than real value. 100%=1000.

Thanks, I could swear I was using the RAND wrong, in the end, it was the skill 10 times higher, just like you said.
Thank you!

also, just replace the formula with real numbers and you will see the mistake

Code:

(<EVAL RAND(500)> <= 100+<SRC.SKILL>)
=
(0~499 <= 100+1000)
=
(0~499 <= 1100)

this will always return true because any number between 0~499 is <= 1100, thats why you always got 'function1_happens' as result

Thank you, Coruja!
Your help was much appreciated!
