Random Number Between... - Ely - 28.10.2011

How Would I Make It So When You Type /roll

You Get Sent A Message With A Random Number Between 150000 And 300000?

The Code I Made

Код:

if(!strcmp("/roll", cmdtext, true))
	{
	    new string[128];
	    new cash = (150000 + random(300000));
	    format(string, sizeof(string), "Number Is: %d",cash);
	    SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,string);
        }

Didn't Exactly Work Lul Any Help?

pawn Код:

stock random2(min,max) // returns a random value, between min and max.
{
    return min + random ( max - min );
}

Between 150.000 and 300.000?
That is a difference of 150.000, so

pawn Код:

new cash = (150000 + random(150000)); //Minimum of 150000+a maximum random value of 150000 = 300000

will do the trick

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp("/roll", cmdtexr, true))
{
    new string[128];
    new cash = RandomEx(150000, 300000));
    format(string, sizeof(string), "Number Is: %d",cash);
    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, string);
}

i know this works cause i use this on my server for my work system and it works wonders :P

Re: Random Number Between... - Kostas' - 28.10.2011

You can define minimim-maximum numbers

pawn Код:

#define MINIMUM_VALUE 2000000
#define MAXIMUM_VALUE 8000000

pawn Код:

new cash = MINIMUM_VALUE + random(MAXIMUM_VALUE-MINIMUM_VALUE);

Re: Random Number Between... - admantis - 28.10.2011

Kostas' solution is not efficent when you want to do it with different numbers.
Zonoya does not define RandomEx.
FUNExtreme method's sometimes will go beyond 300,000.

I don't want to be a smart-ass but I am pointing out what is wrong.

That'll do the trick. USE THIS!

I basicly did the same thing but just without using a function. If you need to do this multiple times, use the function from admantis

Since when is RandomEx a default pawn function? It is not, you have it in your script somewhere.
Use the function provided by admantis!

pawn Код:

Exactly the same like I said, I repeat: "use the function from admantis"

Ok, Just a simple question. How can my function ever go above 300.000?! Is there some kind of malfunction in the random function that it goes higher than the given amount? Enlighten me
