Hi! I have been researching on here for a while on how to make a command for a random percentage within a specific range to be displayed when triggered in chat, but I can't seem to get it right... So I came to ask the experts! 😃

Majority of commands I see are for a random number ranging from 1-100, but how can it be changed to be from 60-100 only? Or 80-200? etc.

Sorry if the answer is obvious, just wondering the best way to achieve this. Thank you in advance!

Hey @Steady Unicorn!

It's not too far off the other type of commands you might have seen.

As explained here, you can generate a number between two values — both included — like this:

Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) ) + min;

With that in mind, here's how you can write the command to fit your needs, and you just need to replace MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE by the numbers you want:

$(eval min = MIN_VALUE; max = MAX_VALUE; Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;)
