Does probability 0 do anything?

In the probabilities of effects, I can write:

1
0

But does the engine actually ever roll 0? Or is it the same as

1
1

?

    im assuming you mean the two probabilities? from what I seen, most items just use the first one to do their probabilities, but I've seen an item use both of them before, and I believe the first one was 40 and the second one was 61 or something like that

    so I do believe it does have some effect, but from what I found, just using the first one is good enough for me

    that would be something you would have to test out

    No, I'm not asking about the reverse order. I'm asking if the engine rolls zeroes or not. Of course, if I write

    0
    0

    Then it's obviously useless, but for

    1
    0

    I'd like to know if I get two percentile points or just one.

    The engine rolls 0-99, not 1-100.

    Probability range is min. value and max. value inclusive, so 0 - 0 means that it's triggered when the game rolls a 0, and 0 - 1 is triggered when the game rolls a 0 or 1.

    So 100-100 doesn't do anything?

    If i had to guess it would make it so the effect never fires. If it rolls 0-99, then there will never be a result of 100

    I don't know if i should create a separate topic about this, but since it's related i might aswell try.

    I've been trying to trigger different effects through EEKeeper with varying degrees of probabilities, but no matter the numbers i put in, the effects ALWAYS triggers 100% of the time.

    Is there a specific resource to add so the engine is able to take the probability into account ?

    Probabilities do not quite function when adding effects directly to the .cre format (which I am assuming you are doing in EEKeeper). You need a spell or item to roll probabilities.
