OK, I'm making this map here and well its hunting animals like cougars (bengalaas)
im trying to implement so that the can be of different sizes (small medium large)
as well as variables (albino colour mutation etc.) they wouldnt be visible but just give more points.
I need to know what the percentages should be scoring goes
normal score for the animal and
small = -5
medium = +0
large = +5
variation = +10/ -10 depending on animal
normal = +0

2) This doesn't belong here
3) I suggest maybe IDeas or Concepts

OK then I'll just use an example...
say you kill a bear in my game, it is worth 10 points normally.
I'm putting a randomizer on it so when you kill it it'll display "small, medium or large".
small is - 5 so the bear would be worth 5 points.
medium is + 0 so the bear is worht 10.
large is +5 so the bear is worth 15.
How often should you encounter large and small bears instead of regular sized bears.
I was thinking 50% medium, 25% large, and 25% small.
Is that fair or should the numbers be re-ajusted?

It's completely up to you. My suggestion is that the larger the animal, the lower the % it will occur. That's as much as I would say. I wouldn't give you any exact numbers.

Whatever you choose, I think it would be 'fair' and 'balanced' for all players anyway, because the chances should be the same for all players. Then it's just a matter of trying different setups out, and changing it according to how you think it should feel.

50/25/25 sounds good, you only need 2 switches for it. Additionally you can just go 33/33/33 and on the fourth switch combination just re-randomize them.

It's really your choce and like Mp)Sniper said you should make it: bigger animals, smaller ammount.

Just make 2 randomized switches and a third that is set (so it knows it has been set)
Then do again for the mutation. (Also, you may have to do different switches for different players so that it doesn't mix them up)
ADDITION:
Yeah, 50/25/25 is what I was talking about..
ADDITION:
Didn't see that. Switches may be better, but the JYD doesn't use as many triggers...
I have seen an RPG where they have 4 locations and a bunch of scourges and depending on how many are in a location you get different amount of coins for kills.

Yes but the junk yard dog is well easier, only need one and I'm frighteningly lazy about switches
