[SOLVED] Getting a Random outcome

I am making a plugin that gives a player a random amount of money, and I want to send the player a message of how much money they won.

 

PHP:

switch(mt_rand(1,number){
case 1:
u won $500
*give money here*
case 2: etc

 

tis just an example

 

I did that originally but it wasn't how I wanted it. The code that I'm using now is.

PHP:

$money =rand(100000, 400000);

EconomyAPI::getInstance()->addMoney($p, $money);
$p->sendMessage("You won ".$money);

 

Well you already solved your problem?

 

No because it will send a message with a number 100000 - 400000 intead of getting the money that they won.

 

Well you gave the player the money of $money, which is the same number you sendMessage to your player, so whats the problem?

 

It doesn't work like that.
If the player won $125,630 it will send a message but it will just randomize again and send a different number like 365,443

 

Wtf? When you call a function and assign it to a variable it stores the value that the function returns, not the function.

 

Did you even test the code you wrote lol

 

Yes I did it gave me $275,893 but the message said that I won $432,932

 

Is the code you posted the same with the one you tested?

 

Yup

 

No, it certainly isn't unless Economy is fucked up big time

 

PHP:

public function addMoney(){
$prize = mt_rand(1,3);
switch($prize){
case 1:
EconomyAPI::getInstance()->addMoney($player, "50");
break;
case 2:
EconomyAPI::getInstance()->addMoney($player, "150");
break;
case 3:
EconomyAPI::getInstance()->addMoney($player, "200");
break;

 

I would do this but I want it to add a random amount form 100,000 to 400,000

 

can you try to do

PHP:

EconomyAPI::getInstance()->addMoney($player, 300000);

and see if you really received 300,000
