Dont want to sound too daft.. but what script are you trying to write

[Aliss]

Shield chance to block enemy attack. 

[Equinox]

Interesting... Full out battle script?

Code: [Select]

$s='Battle begins: ';
if(rand(1,100)<=$hitchance) $s.='you hit the enemy, '; else $s.='you miss the enemy, ';
$s.='for '.rand(1,6).' damage, ';
if(rand(1,100)<=$shieldchance) $s.='the blow is blocked by shield, ';
if(rand(1,100)<=$counterchance) $s.='the enemy countered, ';
if(rand(1,100)<=$divinehelpchance) $s.='a guardian angel came to resque, ';
if($magicuser && rand(1,100)<=$magicaurachance) $s.='a magic aura reflected the blow, ';
if($poisonblade && rand(1,100)<=$poisonchance) $s.='the enemy is poisoned, ';
if($flameblade && rand(1,100)<=$flamechance) $s.='the enemy is enflunged by fire, ';
if($iceblade && rand(1,100)<=$icechance) $s.='the enemy is frozen, ';
if($vorpalblade && rand(1,100)<=$voidchance) $s.='the enemy is thrown into the void, ';
echo $s;
And so on, so on

Looks good, is the game viewable at the moment at all? Doesnt have to be pretty yet

[Zeggy]

Oh yeah, I just noticed, the code I wrote was wrong
It's supposed to be rand(1,100) like in Chris's post, not rand($percentage, 100)

[Aliss]

Thx for examples  B)
