rn my method is js if (Math.random() < 0.3) { *code here* }
but that doesnt work

it either always happens or never happens

[stuck talon]

try Math.random()

[olive breach]

i forgot the parenthesees in the codeblock sorry

i have the parrentheses in the actual code

and it is in startup scripts

[astral tangle]

I'm confused

[olive breach]

huh

what?

[astral tangle]

can you define math.random as a var before the if

output it to chat

then perform the if on that variable?

[olive breach]

math.random is a builtin thing

oh ok

[astral tangle]

yes

for example

var random = Math.random();
Utils.server.tell("Random: "+random);
if(random < 0.3) {
code
}

thats exactly what i just wrote

[astral tangle]

that will tel lyou in chat what exactly the number its generating

[olive breach]

after you said that
