Examples
Example TinTin++ file: http://4dimensions.org/wiki/index.php/User:Isidora
"Simple" emote on move script.
#alias {up} { #if {@rand{1d00} < 21} {u;$emotes[@rand{$nemotes}]} {u} #nop if the random number is less than 21, move up then get a random emote from the list $emotes. Otherwise if the number was greater than 21, just move up. } #var {nemotes} {1d5} #variable for the number of emotes you have, easier to edit 1d5 in one place than a bunch. So if you have 6 emotes you change it to 1d6. #list {emotes} {create} {emote ex1} {emote ex2} {emote ex3} {emote ex4} {emote ex5} #nop pool of emotes to draw from. #function {rand} #nop simple random number function. you put for example 1d100 in the {} and in generates a random number between 1 and 100. { #math result {%0} }
