I got this function above which suppose to give random experience from 200 to X, and all i do is:

pawn Код:

playerDB[playerid][Exp] += rand_exp(playerDB[playerid][Level]);

And you know what it gives? It gives me a number like: xxxxxxxx its with 10 numbers omg, like above 100 million ,anyone knows the solution? o_O..

return random(max - min) + min;
example input:
return random(500 -100) + 100;
random(400)+100;
returns any number between 100 and 500

example 2:
random(300-400) + 400;
random(-100)+400;
returns any number between 300 and 400

first impression: does random() support random negative values? I honestly do not know.
You can try buy creating a function with a random(-200) called. If it returns any large numbers then you know what the problem is.
in that case, your problem lies within the random negative.
If not, I wouldn't know

Re: Random experience function gone crazy - 0ne - 01.05.2010

Umh, so what's the solution?

Re: Random experience function gone crazy - Jefff - 01.05.2010

minrand(min, max)
not max min
so must be
case 0: return minrand(100,200); // number between 100 -200
...
