Eventing Random Weather, (RESOLVED) Options

[FlippedSided]

OKay so what im trying to do is in my world map create different areas having different and random weather controls. For example one island can have a rainy climate where it rains often (but not always) and another where its a 50/50 chance of raining and another where it can either rain snow or none. I've already created areas I just need help eventing random wheather.

This link kinda explained it but I didnt really get it when it started mentioning random variables: http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/rpgtsukuruvx...&pid=943648

If somebody could please explain what was said in the link but in a bit more helpful detail.

Any help is greatly appreciated


Edit+ I may have posted this in the wrong section sorry.

By random variables, they mean you set a variable to a random value between 0 and 100 (when you enter an area for instance) and then check if the variable value is under a certain threshold to determine what weather (if any) is used.
Sorry, I would use screenshots to show you better, but I can't use RMVX right now. =(

Thats okay. Thanks for the help . I'll have another look and update with the result .

Edit/Update+ Okay I failed. Still couldnt wrap my head around it . If somebody could provide a very in depth step by step guide I'd appreciate it. Im having trouble still creating the random variable in the event... Still thanks though Kread .

1: Create an Autorun Event in the area in question that you want to have the weather change.
2: Control Variables -> (Select your Single variable) -> Set -> Random -> 0 ~ 100 (put 100 in the second box)
3: Make a Conditional Branch, if the Variable (your Single variable) -> Less than or equal to -> 25
4: In the true case (immediately under the conditional) set the weather to say, rain.
5: In the Else case, do another Conditional Branch, if the Variable is greater than or equal to 75
6: In the true case, set the weather to stormy
7: In the Else case, set the weather to none.
8: Erase Event, so it doesn't keep changing weather on you, but will do this every time you zone into the area.

If you don't want stormy and rainy or whatever, just take out the conditional branch with that particular part in it.

Here's a visual guide:

I realize now I forgot to put the erase event in there, but eh. Just remember to put that in. xD

Hope this helped.
