question

Hi,

I am changing the syntax of item.type in the SET ITEM TYPE BY PERCENT code to setitemtype(item,2). Once I alter the code, it keeps reverting back to item.type. How do I avoid this? Code is below.

Original Code:

int stream = /**\nStream number:*//***tag:stream*//**/0/**/;
double randomnum = uniform(0.0, 100.0, stream);
double total = 0.0;
int foundmatch = 0;
total += /**\nPercent: *//**/Percent/**/;
if (!foundmatch && randomnum <= total)
{ item.type = /** Type: *//**/2/**/;
foundmatch = 1; }
New Code:
total += /**\nPercent: *//**/Percent/**/;
if (!foundmatch && randomnum <= total) {
setitemtype(item,2);
foundmatch = 1; }
