Plugin Help Randomizer

Any one know any good tutorials that really go into debt about randomizers like, some plugins allow 0.001 1 50 70 or even a regular 100% where 100% is always and 0.001 is extremely small in odds..

I can make a randomizer that just goes btween 1-100 but i want 1% to act as rare and 100% to act as "always" cant find anything on this or have no clue how to do it..exacly

 

@Scorpionvssub Have your debugged? Have you looked at the Bukkit JavaDocs?

@Scorpionvssub Try something. If it doesn't work, post what you tried for help. Don't post asking for code.

@Scorpionvssub Have you tried anything? We're not here to write code for you or to tell you how to do everything.

Post what you've tried, and we'll help you with what's not working.

 

@teej107 I would if i could find any other than randomizer plugins and such

 

Code:

                Random r = new Random();
                int total;
                total = getConfig().getInt("Settings.eggchance");
                int outcome;
                outcome = r.nextInt(100 - total);
                if (outcome == total) {
                    ItemStack egg = new ItemStack(Material.DRAGON_EGG);
                    egg.setDurability((short) 3);
                    ItemMeta meta = egg.getItemMeta();

                    meta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("Settings.eggname")));
                    List<String> lore = new ArrayList<>();
                    lore.add(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("Settings.egglore")));
                    meta.setLore(lore);
                    egg.setItemMeta(meta);

                    killer.getInventory().addItem(egg);
                    killer.updateInventory();
                }

The line for r.nextint gives errors sauing "must be positive"

 

@Scorpionvssub What is total? That's probably larger than larger than or equal to 100.

 

@Mrs. bwfctower first tried 30 then 100 just trying to create where 100% is always and 1% is rare,,

 

@Scorpionvssub It has to be positive, and 100-100=0.

 

yea i k so how do i fix it or whats the idea or suggestion 100-100+100?

no clue instead of telling me what it would do rather then accually helping which is more usefull then this... cause i know it has to positive its what the error already said so thats pointing out the obvious...

@Scorpionvssub Add one to outcome, because that way, as long as total is <= 100, outcome will always be positive. Or just change it to '101 - total'.
