does getSorenRandNum() start at 1 or 0?

Does the random number from getSorenRandNum() start at 1 or 0? Meaning if i put in getSorenRandNum(100) would i get back a random number from 1-100 or 0-100?

I would test this myself by simply doing it then having it print the result in the message window. But i still cant print anything in the message window

if you did gc.getGame().getSorenRandNum(100,"something") you would get a number random number inclusively 0-99 ... I think, I just did a quick test
gc.getGame().getSorenRandNum(2,"something") and only 0 and 1 showed up.

Thanks again!

Hmmm - which message window are you looking in?

what file(s) do you import into the interpreter to test that?

I was attempting to use the CvUtil.pyPrint() but with no avail....

CvUtil.pyPrint prints out to the logs, not to the screen. If you want to print to the screen you need to use something like CyInterface.addImmediateMessage("Foobar","")

Im not a programmer at heart, so dont know what you mean by interpreter. But if your question is "How do you actually use this function?" This is what ive found to work.

chance = CyGame().getSorenRandNum(100, "")
if chance >= 95:

It will then do anything below that last line if the chance matches up with being 95 or greater...

I added the code to the OnGameBeginTurn method in the CvEventManager.py file and just kept going through the turns. I tested it through about maybe 50-60 turns and only got 0's and 1's as expected.
