Random inside of AI Loop

Well, I don't know if it's a bug with the code (I couldn't find one), or just rand(#,#) doesn't work in while loops, but anyways.

I have while(src) for the AI loop, but for some reason, I have rand(1,2) (1 being AI uses Taijutsu/melee, 2 being a jutsu), and problem being is, they work, but, for some reason once the AI uses a Jutsu, he keeps using a jutsu over and over. I don't think it's luck of the draw as it happened like 30 times in a row.

Could someone tell me how to make it random inside of the While Loop, for two options?

For two options with an equal chance of occurring, try if(prob(50)). prob(N) is a proc that returns true based on an N% chance.

I actually fixed it, but thank you. I ended up making a proc to do Random while in loops. So I do var/R1 = Random(1,2) for example, and it'll return a new number each time. xD

<s>You could just change the variable with each iteration of the loop..</s>
You could just not use a variable... I'm not sure how you managed to mess that up.
while(blah)
   if(rand(1,2)==1)//blah
   else //blah

Or just do what I said.
while(blah)
   if(prob(50))//blah
   else //blah

I ended up taking a different path, and I used a variable as it uses the same random number multiple times. I made a proc to pick the random number, instead of picking it inside the while loop.
