Random Generator Value Question

[wallworm]

I am trying to create a tree species that includes different life-cycle phases inside the single GrowFX rule set. What I am trying to do is create a randomization of these life cycle elements. For example:

 

• Saplings
• Young Trees
• Middle Age Trees
• Old Trees
• Dying Trees
• Dead Trees

 

Ideally I want to expose Public Paramaters so that the user can control the percentage of these. For example:

 

• Saplings 25%
• Young Trees 15%
• Middle Age Trees 10%
• Old Trees 5%
• Dying Trees 20%
• Dead Trees 25%

 

Furthermore, I would like to be able to change the material IDs of each tree based on this rule set. In fact, I want the phase (Sapling, Old, Dead, etc) to be able to affect the entire hierarchy of that particular tree (so every level of a Sapling tree will know to use a consistent sapling material ID set, etc). Not only IDs, I'd prefer to be able to make some paths non-spawnable in some cases (like maybe the dead tree skips the leaves paths, etc.)

 

Is there a sample of something like this already?

 

Thanks in advance.
