## Detailed Description

Class that handles some basic functions.

Note:
  The random functions are not called Random and RandomRange, because RANDOM_DEBUG does some tricky stuff, which messes with those names.
  In MP we cannot use Random because that will cause desyncs (AIs are ran on the server only, not on all clients). This means that we use InteractiveRandom in MP. Rand() takes care of this for you.

## Member Function Documentation

bool AIBase::Chance | ( | uint | out,
|  | uint | max |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

Returns approximatelly 'out' times true when called 'max' times.

After all, it is a random function.

Parameters:

  | out | How many times it should return true.
  | max | Out of this many times.

Returns:
  True if the chance worked out.

bool AIBase::ChanceItem | ( | int | unused_param,
|  | uint | out,
|  | uint | max |
| ) |  |  | `[static]`

Returns approximatelly 'out' times true when called 'max' times.

After all, it is a random function.

Parameters:

  | unused_param | This param is not used, but is needed to work with lists.
  | out | How many times it should return true.
  | max | Out of this many times.

Returns:
  True if the chance worked out.

uint32 AIBase::Rand | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

Get a random value.

Returns:
  A random value between 0 and MAX(uint32).

uint32 AIBase::RandItem | ( | int | unused_param | ) | `[static]`

Get a random value.

Parameters:

  | unused_param | This param is not used, but is needed to work with lists.

Returns:
  A random value between 0 and MAX(uint32).

References Rand().

uint AIBase::RandRange | ( | uint | max | ) | `[static]`

Get a random value in a range.

Parameters:

  | max | The first number this function will never return (the maximum it returns is max - 1).

Returns:
  A random value between 0 .. max - 1.

uint32 AIBase::RandRangeItem | ( | int | unused_param,
|  | uint | max |

Get a random value in a range.

Parameters:

  | unused_param | This param is not used, but is needed to work with lists.
  | max | The first number this function will never return (the maximum it returns is max - 1).

Returns:
  A random value between 0 .. max - 1.
