TRUE random mount summoner (that works with flying mounts)
 

Hey guys. Ingame "Summon Random Favorite Mount" and RandomCompanion addon both disregard all my flyable mounts, if I'm not in a flying zone. I would really like to randomly summon those guys too. Any suggestions?

GoGoMount always summons a flying mount in an area you can fly, regardless of what mounts you have chosen. It also summons water mounts if you are in water, like the turtle or squid or stingray. You have to check off mounts in the addon's list though, it doesn't use your favorite mounts.

Edit: I just noticed you want flying mounts in nofly zones. GoGoMount does have an option for that as well, so it randomized all your selected mounts in ground areas.

Perfect, exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I tried GoGoMount, and personal taste, did not care for it, so I switched to LiteMount. For me, it came down to the options.

As for "true random", no matter which mount AddOn you use, expect a certain lack of actual randomness. You might be summoning the same mount once in a while, or a few times in a row. math.random is odd that way.

Actually, truly random generators, what you described has just as much chance of happening as any other result - assuming that each roll is truly independent of previous rolls.

Can be random for 100 runs, then the next 6 runs, all the same number comes up.

That was my point: math.random is not independent of previous results. No random function in any coding language is, simply because computers are not actually capable of being random.

There is LibTrueRandom-1.0, but I don't know if it still functions.

But I have accentally devolved this thread into computer theory, sorry!

If it were dependent on previous results, then it wouldn't be random - is what Marth was saying. ;)

If you roll a die, you have a 1 in 6 chance of rolling a 4. With every roll, it's still a 1 in 6 chance. It's entirely possible, and still completely random at the same time, to roll a 4 five times in a row.

Exactly. Randomness has got nothing to do with variation.

I'm surprised Seerah did not plug sCompanions hosted here on WoW Interface. :) I use it with Opie and love it.

I thought about it. While it does allow you to summon a flying mount while in a no-flying zone, it does not pool flying and ground mounts together for you to randomize between.

Ignoring mount addons and the randomness discussion, this macro should still include flying mounts in no-flying zones

Necrophilia Rises Again - suggestion
 

I'm using Livestock For my mount summoning needs. It has an option to put flying mounts into ground mount summons. It allows you to select which mounts are in the pool to be chosen on a per character basis. The only thing it doesn't have is a weighting system for selection, like Petleash does for calling out companion pets.

I wrote a little addon that can summon a random mount from a defined category or a random mount from all the mounts you have.

It is not so confortable to config because you have to write in lua files the categories by yourself but it works nicely.
