EOS - How to go to random pages with % liklihood

[boundupone]

Image we have a simple tease -

Start
Option-a
Option-b
Option-c

In start page the mistress will decide which punishment to give the slave. I want to randmonise which one she chooses, but multiplied by %

So if we imagine there is a 70% chance she will choose option-a 25% she will choose option-b, and just 5% she will choose option-c

Any help appreciated as I haven't been able to get an eval to work, but it should be simple

I know I'm not the best programmer on here, but I think this will work pretty well for your idea:

Code: Select all

//the function should go in the init script 
function choosePunishment(weight1, weight2, weight3){
  
  //an array with the names of the pages
  var pageArray = ['punishment1', 'punishment2', 'punishment3']
  
  //random range is the sum of the weights, you can use percentage
  //but they don't need to add to 100 this way
  var randomRange = Math.random() * (weight1 + weight2 + weight3)
  
  //the pageChoice variable will choose the location in the 
  //pageArray, and will be updated in the if statements
  var pageChoice = 0

  if (randomRange < weight1) {
    pageChoice = 0
  } 
  else if (randomRange < (weight1 + weight2)){
    pageChoice = 1
  }
  else {
    pageChoice = 2
  }

  //the function will output a string from page array 
  //at a location chosen by the the pageChoice variable
  return pageArray[pageChoice]

}//end of function

//you can call the function in a page eval action
//add whatever weights you want in the function
var nextPage = choosePunishment(70, 25, 5)
pages.goto(nextPage)

Hope it helps!

Hi.
There is also a possibility to do this without any eval.
If you have the pages
Option-a
Option-b
Option-c

and you use "goto Option-*" (note the STAR), EOS will randomly jump to one of these pages with a probability of 1/3.

If you simply copy pages and name them like

Option-a
Option-a1 (copy of Option-a)
Option-a2 (copy of Option-a)
Option-b
Option-b1 (copy of Option-b)
Option-c

you have 1/2 for 'a' 1/3 for 'b' and 1/6 for 'c'.

Crude. Primitive. The way I like it.

There's 101 ways to do it, but here's another option:

Code: Select all

var n=Math.floor(Math.random()*100)

if (n<70) {
  pages.goto('Option-a')
} else if (n<95) {
  pages.goto('Option-b')
} else {
  pages.goto('Option-c')  
}

Brilliant, thanks, that works perfectly. I had something very similar but made a few school boy errors so it didnt work, this is perfect though

That is a simple workaround, thanks for the idea. For my tease though I would end up with a lot of pages!

Thank you, really appreciate you taking the time to put this. fapnip's solution is a simpler one I am going to use, but this was interested for me to follow through to see how you did this. thank you for your help
