So I am trying to make a batch file with 5 different words. Example: Yellow, Red, Green, Silver, and Purple.
How can I make it so Silver would have a 1% chance of showing up in my batch?
I want to make it so yellow is the common word to pop up and making the others a set % on how random it would pop up. I want it to be semi random but with having a rare color.
here's a version that allows multiple percents assigned to colors
obviously, it re-iterates until you hit ctrl-c break, unless you put a pause in :xit@echo off & setlocal
rem these are your percents with colors - don't have to be in order
rem -----------------------
set x=1.silver 12.red 5.purple 20.green 35.blue 27.yellow:top
set c=
set k=
set /a test=%random%/328
call :aa %x%
goto :top:aa
set color=%~x1
set /a c+=%~n1
set /a k+=1
if %test% leq %c% goto :xit
shift
if "%1" equ "" goto :bad
goto :aa:xit
echo %c% %k% %color%
goto :eof:bad
echo shouldn't be here: %c% %k%
pause
goto :eof
I'm not sure exactly what you're aiming at, but I'll give you this: setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
@echo off
:: this next could be any number 0 to 99
set silver=2
rem pauses whenever "silver" number is hit
:aa
:: random is 0 to 32767
set /a q=%random%/327
rem OR %random% %% 100 not sure which is more accurate
echo %q%
if %q% equ %silver% pause
goto :aa
So what I made so far is My batch file
@echo off
set /a rnd=%random%%%10
for /f "tokens=1,2" %%a in (list.txt) do if %rnd%==%%a echo %%b
pause
and my list is this
1 Yellow_Star
2 Yellow_Star
3 Rare_Star
4 Yellow_Star
5 Uncommon_Star
6 Yellow_Star
7 Common_Star
8 Yellow_Star
9 Silver_Star
10 Yellow_Star
I would rather not have to type yellow star 90 more times to make it the most common, I didn't know if there is a way to use percentage to make it where Silver star is a 1/100 chance etc.
This may save you some clutter.
::====== script starts here =============== :: pick silver 1% of the time out of 5 :: stara.bat 2018-01-19 21:14:57.12 @echo off & setLocal enableDELAYedeXpansioN set/a R=!random!%%100 if !R! equ 0 ( call :0 ) else ( set/a C=!R!%%4+1 && call :!C! ) goto :eof :0 echo silver goto :eof :1 echo red goto :eof :2 echo purple goto :eof :3 echo yellow goto :eof :4 echo green goto :eof ::====== script ends here ======================================
So I am trying what you made and it tries to open but closes the CDM every time? Do I need to add pause to some spots?
