Adding a critical strike

So as you can see from the title i want to know how t make a critical strike. Basically I have normal attack which is performed by pressing A.

And there would be 2 animations (one for normal attack and one for a critical).

Then lets say that my critical strike chance is 10%, so i want it to hit at 10% chance (lol).

How do I pull it off? I guess i will need a variable but how can I make it chose randomly?

Thanks in advance.

When you press A, have something like this:

if random(100) < critical chance >>> Do critical animation

else >>> do normal animation

Basically is calculates a random number random(100) and if that number is inside your critical chance then it is a critical hit.

How do I chose random, which action is that?

You would most likely use it the other way, like critchance > random(100)

So in this case you would compare your system variable with > value of random(100).

It would look something like this —

The int command tells it to pick a whole number (otherwise you get a load of decimals) and you go from 1 to 101 because random picking always goes from the first number to one less than the second number. Just fill in the events and it should work!

Nice, thanks man

2c. A critical in RPGs are usually the highest damage you can do in your damage variable range. For instance, if your damage range is 2500-10000, then your critical would be 10000.
