Percentage

[Wuggy]

I'm making a battle script, can I have like a 20% chance of missing? How would I do that?

Huh?

What are you talking about. You need to provide more detail.

Somone attacks noone for 42 damage. (12 left)
Somone attacks noone but misses! (12 left)
Noone attacks somone for 54 damage. (0 left)

Somone dies, Noone is the victor.

I want Somone attacks noone but misses! to happen like 20% of the time.

There's a bunch of different ways you could do this... sometimes you just have to stop and put on your creativity hat.

Something like this would work (but might not be the best solution):

$rand = rand(1, 100); 
if($rand >= 1 && $rand <= 20) { 
$attack = 0; 
} 
else { 
$attack = 1; 
}
// use the $attack var wherever in your script to indicate hit or miss
