Is rand() just 0-100? If so could this just be rand() < 100 for the same effect?

@CoffeeSnake rand() can be any integer.
% 100 does modulo division so that the result is in the range 0 to 99.
Then, < 98 makes sure that the result is true for the most time, but sometimes false.

@Lensflare is there a limit for rand()? If not then I imagine it'd very rarely be true

@CoffeeSnake did you not read the modulo division part?

@Lensflare I guess I was thinking of 0 to 100 % 100 < 98 would be kind of redundant. After thinking for a minute I see how this is basically a 100-sided dice roll.
