It’s simple.

[AS]
function f60(){
// 60 % chance of getting called
}
var nChance:Number = random(100)
if(nChance<60){
f60 not called
f60();

}else{

f60 not called

}
[/AS]

thank you!

I’d consider revising it just to eliminate the depricated method call…


executeOnChance( 0.6, sayHello );

function sayHello():Void
{
   trace("Hello");
}

// chance as a value from 0-1, ex: 50% = 0.5
function executeOnChance( chance:Number, method:Function ):Void
{
   var value:Number = Math.random();
   
   if (value < chance) method();
}

This makes the idea a little more reusable…
