I believe this is the right place for this.

Use a variable. This was done in 2k3, but IIRC, it can be done in XP, if you're doing this with an event.

Event: Locked Door

>FORK: if Lockpick is held
> Message: It's locked. Pick it?
> Show Choices: Yes, No
> Yes Handler
>  Call common event: Pick Locks
> No Handler
>
> Else Handler
> Locked.
>
>End

Common Event: Pick Locks
Call

*put some sounds here and animation of char attempting to pick lock*
Wait: x.x secs.
set v[###] rand. 1-10
Fork: if v[####] is >1
 Fork: if V[####] is <5
  play sound: pickfail
  show message: Failed!
  remove item: 1 Lockpick
 Fork: if v[####] is >6
 playsound:pickOK
 Show message: Success!
  *then do whatever you need to do here*

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Oh, you wanted it in scripts. Eheh...look around at sites, I'm sure someone made a lockpicking script...
