Definition: The Percent-chance condition succeeds with a certain percent chance, as specified by a number or a Visual AgenTalk Formula. For instance, with a value of 50 this condition will succeed, on average, 50% of the time. The Percent Chance condition chooses a random number between 1 and 100 whenever it is executed. If this number is less than the number indicated in its number field, the condition is true. Otherwise, the condition is false. Use this to introduce randomness to an agent's behavior.
Parameters: formula
Example: 500px
