[Help]Using Math.Random

[Zaytron]

Does anyone know if RZ have a full guide on how to use math.random ?
I've searched and saw Shawn's but I can't really understand on how to use it.

I'm working on something like using math.random to make a NPC 'scroll' that certain item & it has 30% chance of failure. Upon failure item is destroyed.

For destroying the item , I've dug out a function from VindicatedStory source. Please do let me know if this function won't work for what I'm trying to do.

public void removeEquipFromSlot(int slot) {
MapleInventoryManipulator.removeFromSlot(getClient(), MapleInventoryType.EQUIP, (short) slot, (short) 1, false);
}

Well. I think it's pretty hard to learn from what sunnyboy have provided.

I'm currently learning bout math.random too , try this link :
http://forum.ragezone.com/f427/odin-...chance-433416/

It's much more clearer ( for me I guess ) , I'm not so sure if that function will work though.

It's not very complicated, if you know math and have common sense to understand / google about it a bit; ull be fine. It's not like it's some class specifically for maple lol

Yea true. I thought maybe giving him some real examples of how it's used might help him alittle more. ( Or maybe it's just me ? lolol )

Here's a rough guide ( DO NOT FLAME ) , I'm not a pro in math.random too so I figured

why not just do :
var rand = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);

this will allow us to use :
if (rand == 1) { to if (rand == 10) {

So let's say , I want the NPC to say cm.sendOk("Hi"); & the chances of it saying hi is one out of ten.

So , basically just do
if (rand == 1) all the way to if (rand == 9)

& make it not say Hi but on the "if (rand == 10)" time , you make it say hi.

I just came up with it in my own way .. i mean if you're gonna do like ... 1 in 100 then I'm not sure on how.

Thank you so much.

if (rand == 1) all the way to if (rand == 9)

if (rand >= 1 && rand <= 9)
