I'm really disappointed by the answers to this question. I'd classify every single answer here a joke answer. Nobody seems to be actually trying to answer the question as posed.

Will M. is right on the money. Unilaterally forcing the group into a combat only he wants, undermining what everyone else is trying to do, and attacking another PC are two huge red flags. You suggest that he's just acting in character, but that's exactly what MGS is, ruining other players fun because it's what your character would do. That is of course in addition to him trying to limit another player's options in a manner you describe as aggressive and hostile.

Well, tested out RangeCollection, and it looks like it works pretty well

then find the value in stringTableHeader that's closest without going over

Alright, yeah I see what you're going for

and then you'd have a method that was something like:

I think I do

oh, wait

no, I'm not sure I follow

hmm

But that article I linked looks promising

Ranges unfortunately, otherwise it'd be easy

Yeah

txtResult = hittable[RollDie(20)];

and sometime like

20,crit hit

so I'd be looking at having a table like:

That's what you'd display to the user

Well to use your example, crit miss, miss, tie, hit, crit hit would be the return values

Yeah, that'd work but then you need to map the indexes to the result

For example, how many jump gates in a system : JumpTable = { 26, 66, 79, 89, 92, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 };

That worked well when the value table just returned and integer instead of a string

A solution I used previously was enums

Yeah, data structures are something I wish my classes had covered better

Sure thing: blackwasp.co.uk/RangeCollection.aspx

I found a blogpost about implementing a range list, I'm reading now

Yeah, that's my backup plan

Ok, yeah that makes sense. I was hoping for an pre-existing solution, but it doesn't look like there is one in .NET

trying to figure out the best way to store

Yeah, that's what I'm looking at

I'm not trying to take user input

Oh sorry, no that's not actually what I was talking about.

Basically, yes

The easiest solution I can think of is just an array that duplicates values

i.e. 1-4 sunny, 5, cloudy, 6 rainy

The problem is with non-uniform distribution

Yeah, I've got randomization

I'm writing a GM assistants tool. Rolling on tables is something that comes up a lot obviously.

Any other programmers in the room? I'm trying to work out the best way to simulate rolling on tables?

Realm Works is very disapointing

Thank you for the offer

Hmm I wonder if SafeSearch filters gore...

I did get one. I was looking for a higher quality one, but was turned off by all the gore.

Why is it that doing a Google image search for bear caught in bear trap turns up almost no images of bears in bear traps, but tons of images (mostly grotesque) of humans in bear traps?

Wow. D&D 5e knockout rules are extremely generous.

Hmm I am concerned by the sweetness I am tasting while eating Cheezits...

@BESW Okay, thank you.

Actually I have a question. Is it considered bad form to @ someone who isn't in chat?
