setcharacteristicrandom

Characteristicscomputer function, computer program, standard futureprog

Overload 1

Boolean setcharacteristicrandom(Character target, CharacteristicDefinition definition, Number profile, Boolean forcenew)
Available in
  • computer function
  • computer program
  • standard futureprog
Sets an intrinsic characteristic from a compatible profile. Returns false if no valid value can be selected.
ParameterTypeDescription
target Character The character or item to change.
definition CharacteristicDefinition The resolved characteristic definition.
profile Number The characteristic profile ID or name.
forcenew Boolean Whether to prefer a different value.

Overload 2

Boolean setcharacteristicrandom(Character target, CharacteristicDefinition definition, Text profile, Boolean forcenew)
Available in
  • computer function
  • computer program
  • standard futureprog
Sets an intrinsic characteristic from a compatible profile. Returns false if no valid value can be selected.
ParameterTypeDescription
target Character The character or item to change.
definition CharacteristicDefinition The resolved characteristic definition.
profile Text The characteristic profile ID or name.
forcenew Boolean Whether to prefer a different value.

Overload 3

Boolean setcharacteristicrandom(Character character, Number definition, Number profile, Boolean forcenew)
Available in
  • computer function
  • computer program
  • standard futureprog
Sets the intrinsic characteristic value for the characteristic definition on the supplied target to a random value selected from the profile you supply. Returns true if successful.
ParameterTypeDescription
character Character The character whose characteristics you want to randomly set
definition Number The ID number of the characteristic definition you want to use
profile Number The ID number of the characteristic profile that you want to use to give the range of possible values
forcenew Boolean If true, excludes the current result from the outcome. I.e. the value must change. If false or if there is only 1 value to choose from on the profile, the result may still be the old value
