Cannot get the variable to change...

Hello! I'm stuck. I'm trying to generate a random room, but it isn't working...

This is what I have, in a nutshell:

Global.doorVAR = 0

IF system: doorVAR = 0

{set doorVAR = random(15)

THEN: (based on that number, a certain number of doors will appear at north, south, east and west. If I edit the variable directly, this works, but it seems like no matter what I can't get the game to recognize the statement to alter the variable. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of. I made the condition a given (IF player is visible...), I tried changing it from random to other number (set doorVAR = 4), but even that wouldn't change it.

The only way to change a variable seems to be by changing it in its declaration: (doorVAR = 13) as opposed to a condition that should do the same thing.

I've come so far but this is just not working... What am I doing wrong?

well, it is impossible to tell without seeing your actual code... it could be just about anything.

you may have placed the code somewhere that never actually runs.

Random(15) will return a floating point number between 0 and 14.9999, so the chances of getting an integer are almost zero. If the rest of your code is expecting an integer then use something like Round(Random(15))

or Int(Random(15))+1 if you don't want it to ever pick zero.

Dude, it worked, and it's amazing. My random dungeon room is all setup thanks to you. Take it easy.
