SOLVED: Reading card effect script line (Mimic)

[Hawkes]

Hey, I've been using the site for a while now and it's been helping me a lot, but I came across the script line for the mimic card, and it doesnt seem to make much sense. I always assumed it contained the itemid, and then the chance to drop modified by some multiplier by the code. But this line seems to indicate a negative drop chance?

   { bonus2 bAddMonsterDropItem,603,-6; },{},{}

I must be reading it wrong so if you're in the know please explain ^^

Good eye!

Mimic Card:

Add the chance of gaining "Old Blue Box" each time a monster is killed.

Look here and search for that line of script "bAddMonsterDropItem" and match it with the others:

Positive numbers are for absolute drops (fixed percentage change to an item) and negative are for relative (depends on the chance that is calculated when the monster dies).

Oh, that explains it!

Awesome, thanks!
