Spawn Rate Problem

Not sure what your problem is exactly, but from a maths point of view those dont have an equal chance.

Lets just consider:

if ( rng->getInt(0,100) < 50) spawnA();
else if (rng->getInt(0,100) < 50) spawnB();

So for A you have a 50% chance.

But for B you have a 25% chance, because what your saying there is "if not A, then with a 50% chance do B" (there was some proper syntax for that fro back when i did A Levels but i forget).

The next else if is then 12.5%, then 6.25% and so on.

So if that is not what you want, what do you want? Do you want them all to be independent (and possibly spawn multiple things at once), do you want to always spawn something, but with equal chances? Do you want to spawn something with a 50% chance, but to pick that something with equal chances?

Hi, thanks for the fast replay, you explained me a little bit, now I have some idea about spawn rate, but not close enough, you mentioned that i can pick what I want so here is the answer that I want to pick: Spawn Something, But With Equal Chances.

You can do something like

int r = rng->getInt(0, n); //n is amount of spawnable things

switch (r) //you can use if statements too but i thought this would work well for equal chances.

{

case 0: spawnA(); break;

case 1: spawnB(); break;

case 2: spawnC(); break;

case n: spawnN(); break;

}

In my experience I think case is almost the same as if, but just cleaner, but I might be wrong, I will definitly try that :) Thanks for suggesting it :)
