I am about to create a BIG script that will allow a banner to rotate.. I want to allow the user to select a weight for each banner.. 1 showing up 1.5x as much as 2, 2 showing up 1.5x more than 3, 3 showing up 1.5x more than 4, etc... how would I do that?? is there a way to setup rand to take in account the odds of picking one number, and is it possible to change those odds??
