Chance of NUMBER%: Always chose only 1

[LoneElf]

So, this can apply for an auto broadcaster, which is why I am relating to it, so what I need is that every 5 minutes, chance of 50%: broadcast "Hello!", or a chance of 50%: broadcats "Bye!". So, the thing is, in those examples, it will 50% broadcast just Hello, 50% broadcast just Bye, or 50% broadcast both. How would I make it so it broadcasts only 1 of them, chosen by a chance of 50%? Thanks

with "chance of" it's rolling both chances, therefore there's a chance both or none can be played. A better way to do it would be like

set {_chance} to a random integer between 1 and 100
if {_chance} is between 1 and 50:
    broadcast "hello"
if {_chance} is between 51 and 100:
    broadcast "bye"

3 outcomes can't each have a chance of 50%... do you mean 33% chance for each?

I personally like doing it the way Wynnevir showed because if you use multiple chance of % expressions in a row then the chances in the expressions after the first one get screwed up since you have to consider the probability that the previous chance expressions aren't successful
