It is possible for random 10 to output 10. See code below,
[] spawn {
private _attempt = 0;
while {true} do {
if (_attempt % 50000 == 0) then {
systemChat str (_attempt toFixed 0);
};
if (random 10 == 10) exitWith {
systemChat str ["hit", _attempt toFixed 0];
};
_attempt = _attempt + 1;
};
};Depends how lucky you are :D
From wiki: Number from 0 (included) to x (excluded), yet it is possible.
Run
[] spawn {
private _attempt = 0;
while {true} do {
if (_attempt % 50000 == 0) then {
systemChat str (_attempt toFixed 0);
};
if (random 10 == 10) exitWith {
systemChat str ["hit", _attempt toFixed 0];
};
_attempt = _attempt + 1;
};
};And try to be lucky.
Much faster repro by abusing isNil. Typically generates the fail case well within a minute:
[] spawn {
private _attempt = 0;
private _nohit = true;
while {_noHit} do {
systemChat str _attempt;
isNil {
for "_i" from 1 to 100000 do {
if (floor random 1000 == 1000) exitWith {
systemChat "hit";
_noHit = false;
};
};
};
_attempt = _attempt + 100000;
};
};The floor doesn't make a difference to the result (FP won't report a normalized value as equal unless the bits match) but was added on request.
We found that this change was done in October 2008. That was before Arma 2 release, its been like that since then.
The fix on dev seems to work, whatever it is. Tested with 1, 10, 1000 and 1e6. Also checked for bias in the last value, seems fine.
