Ok, what is happening in this program?
The first call you are making is that if it rands 90% of the time the
program is executed..
then the second call is if it rands over 505 of the time, then run that
statement..
So thortically, you're satement may only come out at maximum 45% of the
time. IT dosent mean that it will however..
You could just change the rand (90) to rand (50) and do it amyway..
Or you could add extra statements like
if rand (50)
say blah blah blah blah
or if rand 60
say blah blah blah bleh blah
or if rand 80
say bleh blah bleh blah
endif
And I think that you don't need to include () 's around the numbers...
But as I have stated.. check my web-site for updated docs on MobProgs..
I haven't used them other than to check them out to make sure they work..
