Random Variables

I am doing some mining type stuff for my server and i got the triggeraction stuff working to destroy rocks and stuff. But for the rocks i figure they could leave things behind sometimes like a little diamond or something. And I need help setting it to pick a random variable. So could some one help me. Like ... say it picks a random number between 1-1000 and if you get a 483 it lays a diamond. Could someone please help me.

use

i = random(0,999);

then have stuff like
if (i >50&&i<101) {
stuffhere;

you can do it a lot of ways
this.random = random(1,90);

It would be much simpler to do...

Quote:

if (i in |50,101|){

what i just ended up doing was ....

this.destroy=random(1,1000);
if (this.destroyed=483) {
putnpc diamond.gif,diamond.txt,32,32;
}

I know the ending probably aint right but i am just explaining what i did and dont care if its wrong ...

I think there is still a bug in random() in where it doesn't get re-randomized if you don't move...

It's fun to tell him why, Kai!

PHP Code:


		
			
this.destroy=int(random(1,1000)); 

if (this.destroyed=483) { 

putnpc diamond.gif,diamond.txt,32,32; 

}

By using random, it finds a random real number between the two numbers you've set. That means that muber could be 4.876658756 or any other number like that, making the odds of getting 483 somewhere around infinity to one. What you want is a random integer number, which only allows numbers without decimals. By putting int() in there, the odds around 1 in 1000 once again.
