Uhh, didn't know that. So, if I wanna use a random value between 0 and 2, I should use random_num(0, 2) instead of random(3), r?

You will get the same results with both.

The range of random(x) is [0, x).

this doesn't make sense. So if I want the number between 0 and 2, I have to generate a random number between 0 and 3? That's a one awkward native.

Javascript: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_random.asp

Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rand/rand/...thod.gen_range

There are many languages that have a function in their standard library that generates a number in range [min, max) because it makes total sense; it's not awkward at all.

I guess the description should be somewhat changed Returns a random number between 0 and a specified upper bound https://www.amxmodx.org/api/core/random

In the parameter description it says "Exclusive upper bound". It's clear how the function works.

Hi DjSoftero,
Thanks for reply.

This always gives me 1241 output
what i want ?

PHP Code:

new const array[][] =
{
{1241,2414,3744}, // first data
{1654,2754,3534} // second data
}; 


it will choose random from above
suppose first time it will print
1241 2414 3744
second time it will print
1654 2754 3534
Thanks

new i = random(sizeof(array));
client_print(id, print_chat, "%d, %d, %d", array[i][0], array[i][1], array[i][2]);
