With ColdStone can you make a treasure chest contain 1 of 3 items. The one that is in the chest is random between the three. Sorry if this is confusing. Couldn't think of a better way to describe it.

You could probably do something like this: (Psuedo-code)
-------------------------------
If TreasureBox=Open Then:
RandNumGen 1-3
If RandNum=1 Then Add +1 Item1 to Inventory
Msg "Item 1 Aquired!"
TreasureBox=Empty
If RandNum=2 Then Add +1 Item2 to Inventory
Msg "Item 2 Aquired!"
TreasureBox=Empty
If RandNum=3 Then Add +1 Item3 to Inventory
Msg "Item 1 Aquired!"
TreasureBox=Empty
If TreasureBox=Empty Then Msg "There is nothing here!"
-----------------------------
You get the idea. I have no idea about the actual code structure of Coldstone, but it's my educated guess that it will have mathamatical functions, as well as basic logic.------------------

Of course, look at PoG. Everything (or almost) you find in rock piles and holes is random.

Heh, how IS the coding in Coldstone done anyway? And is there math functions? There had better be, what programming language (albeit a point-and-click programming language) would work without math? Constrained random number generation, perhaps with seeds? Additon? Subtraction? The ability to assign numbers to variables? Mmm, there's a lot non-included gameplay goodies like parties and unique battle systems, that could be figured out with math functions....

Yes yes yes yes yes yes ......yes however there is absolutely no code to be found within the engine, there are separate interfaces in which you can do such....
