How do I randomise this outcome?

I've made a basic fighting game just to get to grips with this software.

I've set up an Instance Variable on the enemy sprite called blockLikelihood which I've set as 25 because I want the enemy to have a 25% chance of blocking the player's attack when it lands.

I can't seem to find out how to call that variable and turn it into "the odds" of the hit being blocked. Am I missing some obvious Conditions/Actions?

Any help would be appreciated.

You can keep the variable as the % chance so 25, then you generate another number to compare against. So if you set another variable to random(1,100) it will give you a random num from 1 to 100 and the logic would be if the generated number is less than or equal to % chance then it would block. So for example 11 generated would block and 79 would not.

Thanks for the response lionz, I'd just figured it out!

On the button press I've put Set blockLikelihood to random(1, 100).

And I've put a condition on the enemy that says blockLikelihood <= 25 and put the block animation in there. Works well!

Cheers.

Great :)
