Hi guys.

Im trying to make 5% to get something and Im using:

new iRandomChance = GetRandomInt(1, 100);

Then I use:

if(iRandomChance <= 5)
{
         my code here
}

The problem here is that I get 5 or less a lot of times from the GetRandomInt command.

I want to make it 5% but it feels like its at least 30%

Any idea what am I doing wrong or any other way for better random chance?

Thanks!

You'll have much better luck using something like this:

PHP Code:

int iRandomChance = GetRandomUInt(1,100);

int GetRandomUInt(int min, int max)
{
    return RoundToFloor(GetURandomFloat() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

This code does not work and breaks my plugin when I try to compile

or im just dumb

There is custom native "GetURandomFloat()".
So, example is missing more detail I did not see that first time in API

Odd.. It works great for me in Team Fortress 2 and doesn't require any include files. What game are you hosting? Care to share your code so we can look at the problem?

Here's a plugin that I just wrote as a test and it works as intended. Numbers are very random.

PHP Code:

public void OnPluginStart() 
{
    HookEvent("player_spawn", player_spawn);
}

public void player_spawn(Handle event, const char[] ename, bool dontBroadcast) 
{
    int userd = GetEventInt(event, "userid");
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(userd);

    int iRandomChance = GetRandomUInt(1,100);
    
    PrintToServer("Player %N spawned and rolled a %i on a D100", client, iRandomChance);
}

int GetRandomUInt(int min, int max)
{
    return RoundToFloor(GetURandomFloat() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

The problem was that I also put

int GetRandomUInt(int min, int max)
{
    return RoundToFloor(GetURandomFloat() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

inside another 'public' and it couldnt compile.

Now that I saw your code, I realized im dumb and fixed it. Worked like a charm!

Thank you!
