Getting a 'three-way' option in a mission?

Ok, no giggling about the thread title...

I wanted to set up a mission where there is an equal one chance in three for an option or mission orders to occur.

I know, for an equal 1 in 4 chance, I:

* place 2 sailboats at 50% probability somewhere on the map
* then set up the mission triggers so that:
* Sailboat 1 exists (and no Sailboat 2 exists) = 1st mission
* Sailboat 2 exists (and no Sailboat 1 exists) = 2nd mission
* Both Sailboats exist = 3rd mission
* No Sailboats exist = 4th Mission

...but for equal 1 in 3 chance of a mission, is it:
* place three Sailboats at 50% somewhere on the map
* If Sailboat 1 exists (and no Sailboat 3) = Mission 1
* If Sailboat 2 exists (and no Sailboat 3) = Mission 2
* If Sailboat 1 OR 2 exists AND Sailboat 3 exists = Mission 3

Mathematically, does that work out to an equal one chance in three of the mission occurring?

Thanks guys - Math isn't my strong suit - so I wanted to ask :03:

(sailboat); A,B,C... - mission types

(1) = A
(2) = B
(2)+(3) = C
(3)+(1) = C
You have also "new kind" of mission for next variants:
(3) = D
(1)+(2)+(3) = E
(1)+(2) = [A,B] = F

My proposition:
chance of mission A = chance of mission B = chance of mission C
(place 3 missions in dynamic group with minimum/maximum =1)

and if:

A then create (1)
B then create (2)
C then create (1a)+(3a) or (2b)+(3b)

Ahh, that makes sense, P7 - thanks for that mate!:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

On reflection, where I got it wrong with my model was that if there is NO sailboat 1 or 2 created, then the mission won't work - your way is better!

I appreciate your help!

With my method you can set own % for each mission. For exapmle:

15% for A - then create (1)
25% for B - then create (2)
60% for C - then create (1a)+(3a) or (2b)+(3b)

(now is 10% for each mission but one variant must be created - which is highest priority for dynamic group)
