Hey guys,

 

I'm using the 'rand' command to generate random server broadcasts. The problem is, I've noticed that the order in which I place the rand statements determines which broadcast has the highest chance of displaying. So, the very first rand statement that leads to a broadcast plays 90% of the time because it has the highest chance. Is there any way to make the outcome of multiple rand statements all the same chance? Thanks.

My opinion is

#1 Set variable each broadcast

#2 Random set broadcast at first each loop
