Question about Randomness

TheTinman

Would this be a 15% chance for thie script to fire?

void main()
{
    // Add the randomness
    if(Random(100) >= 15)

{
ExecuteScript("script_here", OBJECT_SELF);
}
}

Close: if(Random(99) <= 15).
Random can come out as 0 and you put greater than instead of less than.

Wouldn't it still just be: if (Random(100) < 15) ?
Or: if (Random(100)+1 <= 15)

@NeverwinterWights Either of your solutions will work as they give a 15% chance.

The OP gives an 85% chance.

@ForSerious if(Random(99) <= 15) gives a probability of 16/99 which is roughly 16.2%

Just noticed my miss type. My bad.
Would this also be a way to write it?

d100()<=15

I knew I should have checked my math! Hehe, yeah there's a lot of ways to do it. d100 is fine too.
