Random?

[Astram]

How would I make a random integer?
Like for chance... It needs to say a RANDOM number.

PHP Code:

function onActionGrab()
{
this.chat = ??? -Random Stuff Here- ???
}

random(lownumber,highnumber);
combined with int(val);

To get a random int between 0 and 5, for example:
int(random(0,5.9999));

I suggest putting the 9's there for any of the integer-related random numbers, otherwise the chances of the high number showing up are slim to none.

this.chat = int(random(0,100)+.5);

Because Graal's random functionality dislikes the high-end of a defined range for some reason. All values below the maximum value tend to have a higher probability of occurring.

That does look cleaner, but I suggest getting as close to +1 as reasonably possible. with only +0.5, there's a ~0.5 out of 5 chance that it will actually roll he high number. Which is why you should, at the very least, tag +0.99 at the end. add more 9's the more important it is.

You are reading it wrong. It generates a random number then adds .5 to it. With int() this effectively rounds the number up, eliminating the problem.

Ah, I see!
