Help with Random Procedure

Hey Everyone,

I'm working to make a Naruto RPG Mod for Minecraft and am very excited to learn how to use the MCreator interface. Upon a player loading into a new world, they will be greeted with a GUI that will have a button to generate their clan. I attempted to make a Procedure connected to the button that when pressed displays a randomly generated clan but I think my logic is a little off. There are 50 or so clans in Naruto so the probability of generating one for the player should be around ~2% or 0.02.

 

Here is an example of my Procedure: 

if Random[0,1]<= 0.02

do Set Global: clan_Name to : "Aburame"

else if Random[0,1]<= 0.04

do Set Global: clan_Name to : "Akimichi"

...

if Random[0,1]<= 0.98

do Set Global: clan_Name to: "Yuki"

Upon pressing the button for clan generation I get "Yuki" returned which I understand since all values would be less than or equal to 0.98 so the question is how can I create this Procedure to have distinct random occurences so that each clan name has an equal chance of being generated. Thank you for your help!

Just don't use ".. is smaller than..." alone. Do something like >=0.02 and <=0.03 etc. It might take some time, tho.

@ModProgramMiked

I appreciate the reply and your time, but after testing that method it still didn't end up working. I was able to adjust the logic flow and get a working random procedure with the help of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE0kHWQLy4c&ab_channel=McreatorTutorials

I'll leave it linked here so if anyone else stumbles on this post they'll see it too!
