Calculating chances below 1%

[Everade]

I'm looking for a way to calculate chances below 1% which i'm able to vary upon an if check.

If i'm not mistaken then .@ temporary variables are not able to store decimals?!

 

So for example:

if( .@legend >= 1 ) { .@chance = 0.18; }else{.@chance = 0.1}

if ( rand(100) < .@chance ) { getitem 512,1; }

Or would it also workout if i simply set rand(1000) < .@chance

while chance is set to 1 for instance.

I guess that would be 0.1% ?

Only whole numbers can be stored so use 10000 for 100% so for example you have chance of 5.67% which will be a value 567 if you want to show values in a mes you convert to % by doing "+567/100+"."+567%100+"

if ( rand( 10000 ) < 100 ) {

// below 1.00%

}

if ( rand( 10000 ) < 100 ) {
   // below 1.00%
}

Thanks though.
