[AS2] Probability / Chance

[Revelance]

Hello there fellow Newgrounders, I have a question to ask about how to code Probability.

To be honest, I really have no idea how to do this, and have searched through the internet to find any useful information regarding this, but no luck.

How would you go about executing a function at lets say 23%?

Please point me in the right direction, and nothing too complicated is much appreciated.

Pick a random number between 1 and 100. Check 'if' the picked number, X, is below your threshold. So if you want 23% chance, then run your function if X is 23 or below.

if(Math.random() < .23){
function
}

Math.random() gives you a random value from 0 to 1. If that value is under .23, you are essentially dependent on the random value to determine the percentage of when the function should run.

Thank you very much guys, I appreciate it.
