RandomInt for scripts that modify spell effects.

[DelusionsOfGradeur]

I'm rather new to papyrus scripting, so this may take me a minute to explain. I'll try to keep it brief if you will bear with me.

 

I've figured out how to generate random intergers, but I am having some trouble with using the return value to set values for properties/variables.

 

In some scripts, I know you can use Utility.RandomInt () to set a value, but, in scripts which modify spell effects, the Utility script cannot be accessed to return the value.

I have found that I can still generate the value by adding 'Int Function Random (int aiMin = 0, int aiMax = 100) Native Global', but I have no idea how to access or utilize the returned value. Any suggestions?

Alrighty, I think  I may have figured this out by placing my event within the bounds of the function. At the very least my script is returning no errors or warnings. Can someone tell me if this is correct?

 

Int Function RandomInt(int aiMin = 1, int aiMax = 100) Native Global

     Int myVariable = RandomInt(1, 100)

          If (myVariable < 51)

               debug.messagebox("Yay it works?")

          EndIf

EndFunction

 

Also, is line 2 necessary, or can I just use "If (RandomInt(1, 100) > 51)"?
