% chance

[turtlelink2]

id there anyway to make a percent chance that somthing will hapen... like...

50% chance unit will be replaced on death and 50% nothing hapens...

Make an integer of random number between 1 - 100
Make If, Then, Else function

If Integer less than 50 do actions.. else .. do actions.

wut if its like 25% 25% 25% 25%? cuz if then else only covers 2 =/

You add more if elses. Just think a little. Each if/else past the first adds one extra option.

 

[Dr Super Good]

the if statments of JASS are both simple and multiple selection.

if boolean then
elseif boolean then
elseif boolean then
else
endif

So I fail to see how that would be a problem.

Also remember that for optimization sake, a 50/100 chance is basicaly a 1/2 chance, so you reduce the random integer to the smallest denomator. Thus for a 25% chance you use a random number between 1 and 4. If it is equal to 1 then do your actions, as there will be a 25% chance that the number 1 will be generated in theory (as computers are not truely random, the chance may not be exact but overal as far as you need to care it is exact).

I believe he said out of 100 because it is common belief that 50/100 returns more accurate results than 1/2

which is bs.
