random interger

[k3v_man]

i am not a scripter at all but i was wondering what is the way of doing a rnd command in ruby.

i was thinking that i could make random enemies appear at random times and drop random items

but i didn't see any kind of command like that in rpg maker xp.

i was thinking that in an event just say you would call a script, all the script would do was get a random integer between X and Y and then store it to a variable.

is that possible?

Not sure about VX, but in XP there's an option to set a variable to a random integer between n and p in the events options.

well i was wondering about xp not vx

lol sorry i didn't specify

that would work i guess. lol i feel like a complete retard for not seeing that before. my bad =D. lol i am still curious of course if it is possible with ruby lol

thanks a lot tho =]

simply use

rand(x)

It will generate a random integer between 0 and x.

If you want your integer to start at a specific value, then use

x + rand(y)

Here's a little example
I want a number between 15 and 20. The code will look like

15 + rand(5)

Take care!
