Get Highest Value?

Moik

I'm trying to have my game use the highest value among a set of random results. I can't find anything about sorting or comparing values.

Say I have game.Roll1 with a value of 8, game.Roll2 with a value of 16, and game.Roll3 with a value of 11. How can I get the game to realize that game.Roll2 is the highest, and add it to an existing table integer?

An example implementation: http://invisiblecastle.com/stats/roll/
See the option for 4d6.takeHighest(3).

Ideally I would want a function where you can dynamically set the number of rolls, the random range, and how many of the highest or lowest are selected as they do there.

You could do something like this, though it's not automated.

If youre just comparing three dice rolls, id do it like this.

If Roll1 > Roll2

{If roll1> roll3
{RollConfirmed = roll1
     {Else Rollconfirmed = roll3

ELSE
If roll2 > roll3
(Rollconfirmed = roll2

     {Else Rollconfirmed = roll3

And then you can use rollconfirmd to add to the table integer, or perhaps simply put a change table value in place of rollconfirmed= functions.

Have not looked at the others demos, but it's pretty simple with the Max() function.

Simply set it up like this

Change attribute game.HighestValue to max(game.Roll1, game.Roll2, game.Roll3)

This will pick the attribute with the largest value and assign it to the game.HighestValue attribute, which is just an integer attribute you'd create to hold that largest value.

Wow my suggestion was overcomplicated. I'd say go with Brayden's.

Interesting! Thanks! I'll try those out.
I had hacked together a sort of... I used a High Score system within a loop. It was just rolling one die as many times as I needed and then I used whatever the High Score was.

Here's a demo of the method listed above. Just FYI, the Max() function (found in the RoundRules actor) can contain more than 3 attributes if needed.
