...i just built an abstraction that will take a message from the left inlet and pass it to the left outlet randomly n% of the time. the others will be passed as a bang to the right outlet.
just wondering if this looks ok or if there is a better way to do it which i assume there is based on my own random n% of incompetance...
attached is abstraction
cheers mark

The basic approach is perfect. I would remove the numberbox, as this is potentially a CPU hog, and in an abstraction you don't see it anyways, and instead of [expr 1-$f1] in your case [== 0] is more what you want.
*BUT*: There is a deep problem with triggering and execution order in your patch: You have three patch cords coming out of the first [inlet]: so called "fanning" connections. You must be aware that the order, in which these cords get activated, is important for your patch to work correctly. To make sure, that this ordering is actually the way you want it, you *must* use a trigger object: [t a a a]. Search the list-archives for some of my longer explanations why this is so important.
