rand() question

[Cetanu]

I am currently designing an RPG system for my friend, and in order for members to fight random creatures, I figured I could generate a random number (using rand() ) and then give a definition for an enemy to the numbers it generates.

 

How do I define the random numbers generated by rand()? Say it generates 11, how do I tell it to output that 11 = an enemy of some type?

You can try declare the result. Let say if the random no is 11.

 

$enemy = rand();
if $enemy == "11"{
// then the enemy appear
}

Oh, okay. I'll give that a try, seems promising. A lot of declaration though. 

 

Any other suggestions (I'm gonna go try that ^ )

That DOES work. I love it. It's a lot of fun and very amusing...

...this is my test:

I am thinking of allowing members to choose a type of enemy to look for, and then generate numbers between a certain point. Then I can define things easier, but does anyone know a way to define them less-tediously?
