Choose between to id's (or)

[Sean2012]

Hello I have this line of code

player.getInventory().addItem(1856, 1);

1856 = item id
1 = amount

I would like it to choose between two objects at random. So lets say I have it set up like (1856, 1) (1870, 1) and then it will choose one of those at random.

I have tried setting it up multiple ways and can't figure it out..

Thanks for any help!

Tried googling "Java random?"

Yes i'm checking it out right now. I have set up a class file that looks like this

public class PkDrops {
	
	public static int PkDrops[] = {3101,4151,11694,11696,11698,11700};

	public static int PkDrops()
	{
		return PkDrops[(int)(Math.random()*PkDrops.length)];
	}
}

Does this look correct?

Use the more modern java.util.Random instead. Shortens your code and makes it more readable.

How would I do that sorry i'm fairly new to Java.

Also I'm confused on how to get this to print the selection.

package src;

public class PkDrops {

	public static int PkDrop[] = {3101,4151,11694,11696,11698,11700};

	public static int PkDrop()
	{
		return PkDrop[(int)(Math.random()*PkDrop.length)];
	}
	
public static void main(String[] args){
		System.out.println("PkDrop");
	}
}

Do you know where to find the API?

edit Go through http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...oc-136057.html . Variable and method names should start with a lowercase letter.

And it's poor design to have a variable and a method with the same name. You're only going to confuse yourself and anyone who reads your code with that.

Okay, Thanks for the help! I figured it out.
