How do I increase likelihood of x value with random numbers?

Hey Construct World!

Working on a formula where random numbers are generated which has worked well:

round(random(10,50))

However as I get further into this development, I wanted to increase the likelihood that numbers <25 are more likely to be generated than >25. I see a plugin https://www.construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/advanced-randomthat does this through a probability table but was curious if C3 could accomplish this without a plugin.

Thanks in advance!

You could do this:

random(1)<0.25?int(random(10,25)):int(random(25,50))

The 0.25 means

10-25 has a 25% chance

And 25-50 has a 75% chance

You can use an Array to hold all your numbers, in your case 10 - 50.

For indexes 0-14 you put in values 10 - 24. Then you can have 15 and 16 both hold 25, 17 and 18 both hold 26. Essentially adding more indexes in your Array with the same values you want to be more likely.

Roll a random of all your Indexes and take the value from the array at that index.

Brilliant work and suggestions. I’ll be back in the office tomorrow and will give them a shot with updates following.

Much appreciated!!
