%random% seems to go in order.
#ECHO OFF
SET /A RAND=%RANDOM% %%100
ECHO %RAND%
ECHO.
If you keep running this it increments until it reaches 100 and then the number start over. If it were random it would jump around.
#ECHO OFF
SET /A RAND=%RANDOM%
ECHO %RAND%
ECHO.
SET /A RAND=%RANDOM%%%100+1
this may work.
If I understoof the question right, here's what you're looking for.
echo off
title Number from 1 to 100.
color 0a
cls
:loop
cls
set /a rand=%random% %%101
echo %rand%
pause >nul
goto loop
hey if the problem still persists
use this code
this generates a number between a and b
tweak it to your needs
#echo off
color 02
echo enter value of A
set /p a=
echo.
echo enter value of B
set /p b=
:main
set no=%random%
if %no% GEQ %a% goto sub
if not %no% GEQ %a% goto main
:sub
if %no% LEQ %b% goto end
if not %no% LEQ %b% goto main
:end
echo %no%
goto main

Im making an rpg game in batch, and here is the code for the stat system so far
:SPSPEND

Echo You have %SP% stat points to spend, every stat point used increases that skill by 5.

set /a SP==%SP%-1
goto :rest
Not sure how to format soz. i need help with two things : how can i make it so that it doesnt close out and actually works, and how can i make a failsafe incase a person enters something other than what i already have set up.
Thanks in advance
I believe this is what you want.
I have tested it and am fairly certain it will work

So I am having a problem with changing a text assinged using the set /a
here is my script
:wep
cls
if %gold% lss 50 (
echo not enough gold
pause >nul
goto shop
)
if %weap%==Stick (
echo too low on level
pause >nul
goto shop
)
if %wepugrd% lss 1 (
echo You don't have any upgrades
pause
goto shop
)
cls
echo Your Weapon is Being Upgraded
echo.
echo WAIT A FEW SECONDS
ping localhost -n 3 >nul
set /a weapdmg=%weapdmg% + 5
set /a weap=Stick
set /a wepugrd=%wepugrd% - 1
set /a gold=%gold% - 50
echo weapon upgraded
pause
goto shop
the last part is set /a weap=Stick
it was earlier fist
but instead it just changes fist to 0 instead of changing it to stick
can I get some help with that
thanx
Use this code:
:wep
cls
if %gold% lss 50 (
echo not enough gold
pause >nul
goto shop
)
if "%weap%"=="Stick" (
echo too low on level
pause >nul
goto shop
)
if %wepugrd% lss 1 (
echo You don't have any upgrades
pause
goto shop
)
cls
echo Your Weapon is Being Upgraded
echo.
echo WAIT A FEW SECONDS
%SystemRoot%\System32\ping.exe localhost -n 3 >nul
set /a weapdmg+=5
set "weap=Stick"
set /a wepugrd-=1
set /a gold-=50
echo weapon upgraded
pause
goto shop
As npocmaka wrote, switch /A is only for arithmetic operations and can't be used if just a string should be assigned to a variable.
Adding or subtracting an integer to an existing value can be also done using the short form as demonstrated above.
And read this answer for reason enclosing weap=Stick in double quotes.
I was creating a simple random number guesser in batch but I got an error in my code and don't know what it is please help. Here is the code:
#echo off

echo 2. Medium
echo 3. Hard
echo 4. Exit

if %dif% == 3 goto hardgen
if %dif% == 4 exit

cls

set /p guess=Guess:
if %guess% == %num% goto win
if %guess% gtr %num% echo Lower!
if %guess% lss %num% echo Higher!
:win
cls
echo Well Done
echo 1. Play again!
echo 2. Quit
set /p cmd=What do you want to do:
if %cmd% == 1 goto menu
if %cmd% == 2 exit
I get the error once I choose the difficulty (dif) I have no idea what isn't working. It just closes.
If you open up cmd then navigate to the file and run it, instead of double clicking the batch file, you'll see an error.
The system cannot find the batch label specified - gen
Like the other commenter said, you don't have :gen defined. It says goto gen, but gen doesn't exist, so it freaks out and closes.
Okay, so, I'm making a crude text-based batch game demo, its a sword-fighting game.... I've never used any sort of coding before, and I taught myself as best I could... I know this is a pretty primitive and easy to learn language, but I don't quite understand what I did wrong... It doesn't process damage to you OR the enemy, and the stat randomizer sometimes give out numbers equal to or below 0... Ive been tweaking, and changing code in ways I don't really understand, trying to fix it, so the code may be a little weird at some parts, feel free the constructively criticize, improve parts that MAY work, and PLEASE find the problems stated... (PS. its also programmed to recognize me as the "creator" and my girlfriend, and calls her by her nickname, but that works fine, so Ill remove it from this code.)

set /a health=%random% %% 15-1 +2
The line above is the same as
set /a health=%random% %% 16
and I think you want this:
set /a health=(%random% %% 15-1) +2
The line below uses delayed expansion but you don't use code that requires it (like in loops) - You could just use normal expansion like %health%
!health!
This code will work, unless another character is added when typing and then it will fail. The variable attack should also be initialised before the set /p because set /p will remember what it was the last time through if enter is pressed without input. Input like 1 2 with the space will cause it to fail too (ditto with &).
set /p attack=
if %attack% equ 1 goto slash
if %attack% equ 2 goto slice
if %attack% equ 3 goto stab
It should really have a check for invalid input at the end - just a goto :get_input to loop back for input will do.
Well if you were to put this code onto a batch file:
it doesn't choose a random number (or if it does it always has the same result)
it does't seem to lose or win if you choose to fight
i've been teaching myself coding and this is my first time on a forum so please go easy on me :)
here is my code:

:run_1
cls
echo You ran away
pause
goto start_1
First off it's better for humans to read when it's "equ" instead of "==".
The set /p VARIABLE= is easier to use when clear so use echo like so:
:Jelly_Attack_1
cls
echo AH! There's a swarm of angry jellyfish!
echo Act fast!
echo.
echo You can (1) fight or (2) RUN
set /p VARIABLE=
if %VARIABLE% equ 1 goto Fight_Jelly_1
if %VARIABLE% equ 2 goto Run
if %VARIABLE% neq 1 goto TEST
The fight part should look something like this:
:Fight_Jelly_1
cls
echo The jellyfish are more annoying than harmful!
echo You have a great advantage!
pause
set /a FIGHTNO=%random%
if %FIGHTNO% gtr 4 goto Fight_Jelly_1
if %FIGHTNO% lss 1 goto Fight_Jelly_1
if %FIGHTNO% equ 1 goto FAILED
if %FIGHTNO% equ 2 goto Fight_Jelly_1_Win
if %FIGHTNO% equ 3 goto Fight_Jelly_1_Win
if %FightNO% geq 4 goto Fight_Jelly_1_Win
Then when wanting to give gold or a reward on winning do this:
:Fight_Jelly_1_Win
cls
echo The fight was easy and you found some gold!
pause
set gold=0 (if you didn't have a gold variable)
set /a gold=gold+5 (to add gold)
goto FRAMENAME
I hope I helped!
I strongly suspect that you have set a variable random. If you've done that, then the value that you set in the environment overrides the magic variable.
You can clear it by set "random="
It's normal practice to use a setlocal after your #echo off. That way, any changes you make to the envirnment are backed out when the batch terminates. Without it, any changes made will remain until they are explicitly changed again.
Personally, I prefer
set /a value=%random% %% limit + 1
to generate a value 1..limit. If for no other reason, it's easier to type.
#echo off
setlocal
rem environment changes made after here will be backed-out when the batch finishes...
....whatever....
The setlocal command sets up a 'local' environment which exists only until the batch ends or an endlocal command is encountered.
see setlocal /? from the prompt for more info.
Your batch appears to work fine once I'd added a win_fight_1 routine.
Note however that batch will barf on set /p answer==(1)continue or (2)quit? but removing one of those = will fix it.
Beyond that, just watch whether you want to go to menu or start_1.
And the
if %f2% gtr 4 goto fight_2
if %f2% lss 1 goto fight_2
will be ineffective - certainly if you've used set /a f2=%random% %% 4 + 1
Fake random--
I confirmed that %random% is driven by system clock-- http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2010/06/17/10026183.aspx
use the clock MS to get a random number from 1 to 1000
here is one way to get milliseconds: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100816021807AAz6eL3
Another possibility to introduce randomness is to start the game and then wait for user input i.e. "ready to start?" and when they start will introduce some randomness into the amount of time since cmd.exe started.
