Technically it's not percentage.

rand(7) = random between 0,1,2,3,4,5,6

rand(3) = random between 0,1,2

rand (1,5) = random between 1,2,3,4,5

rand function will always pick one random number depending on what you specified

So example:

if (rand(5) == 1){
mes "Number 1 was picked via rand!";
} else {
mes "Either 0, 2, 3 or 4 was picked.";
}

thank you very much... i thought it was a percentage value where  1% you get the rare item and 100% you get the junk items or none.

what function in mind best describe my example, where 1% you get rare and 100% you get junk or vice versa?

You can basically still use rand for this.

You can do like this if you want it only 1%:

if (rand(1,100) == 1){
  mes "Congratulations! You won!";
  getitem 1161,1; // 1161 = Balmung
  } else {
  mes "Sorry, you lose";
  getitem 909,1; // 909 = Jellopy
}

 

Or if example you want to have 25% chance of getting a good item, you can do it this way:

if (rand(1,100) <= 25){ // If it picks numbers 1 - 25 = success else fail
                      

There should be better ways to do this than the method above. Just search in the forums / google it
