Choosing random number from 0 to 2 (random.nextInt(2); problem)

Hello! I want to choose a random number from 0 to 2. I tried to do it and i came so far:

Code:

            Player p = (Player) sender;
            Random random = new Random();
          
            int chance = random.nextInt(2);

random.nextInt(2) doesn't work for me. What should i do ?

 

@WATWtomanik3

Code:

                        Random random = new Random();

                        int chance = random.nextInt(2);
                        if ( chance == 2 ) {
                            //proceed
                        }

 

I know how to go on but i have a problem on nextInt as i told you.

It says i can create a method or add cast to random.

 

Hmm, that's strange. You can see above i'm not getting any error, can I see a bit more of your code.

 

@Eos here you go

Code:

// COIN TOSSING \\
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("coin")) {
            if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            Player p = (Player) sender;
          
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Random: " + "This command is for players only!");
            return true;
          
        } else {
          
            if (sender.hasPermission("random.coin")) {
            Player p = (Player) sender;
            Random random = new Random();
          
            int chance = random.nextInt(2);
              
            if ( chance == 2 ) {
                //proceed
          
          
            }
          
            } else {
              
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Random: " + "You don't have permission to use that command!");
                return true;
}
        }
        }

 

I saw no problem with your code so I decided to copy n' paste it myself and check if i'm getting the same exact error as you. I recommend you switch to Intellij

 

Currently im using ECLIPSE LUNA maybe i will switch in the future. Anyone else know how to fix this ?

 

@Eos @WATWtomanik3
Ugh... Random#nextInt(n) returns a number from 0 to n, with n not included, so Random#nextInt(2) returns either 0 or 1

 

Updated code a little bit I still have the same problem...

CODE :

Code:

        // COIN TOSSING \\
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("coin")) {
            if (!(sender instanceof Player)) {
            Player p = (Player) sender;
           
            p.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Random: " + "This command is for players only!");
            return true;
           
        } else {
           
            if (sender.hasPermission("random.coin")) {
                  Random object = new Random();
                  for (int counter = 1; counter <= 1; counter++) {
                     
                    int number = 1 + object.nextInt(2);
                   
                    if (number == 1) {
                        // HEAD
                   
                    } else if (number == 2) {
                      // TAIL
                   
                    }
   
                }
           
            } else {
               
                sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Random: " + "You don't have permission to use that command!");
                return true;
               
             }
          }
        }

 

@WATWtomanik3
1) You're first checking if the sender is a player, and if it's not, you cast from sender to Player >.<, hello ClassCastException
2) That for loop is useless
3) You're doing nothing if it's either heads or tails

 

@WATWtomanik3 Are you sure you imported the correct Random class. Check your imports at the top of the class and reply what the package is.

 

You need to import java.util.Random
And instead of the 0/1/2 number checking, for your purpose you can simply use:

Code:

if (random.nextBoolean()) {
//code
} else {
//other code
}

And why don't you let the console run this command? I bet you are watching TheBCBroz... If you do: staaahp it
