Question

Is there a way to set up an if statement like this where 1 if statement covers multiple integers?

variable = random.randrange(1,10)

if variable is between 1 - 3 
    then do this
if variable is between 4-5
    then do this
if variable is between 6-9
    then do this

or maybe something like this

a = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

variable = random.randrange(1,10)

if variable == a:
    then do this

Answer 1

What about choosing a random number for each player, then the player with the largest value gets to attack first.

Or, if this isn’t turn based, then set a threshold, and if the random number is over the threshold, then the player can attack.

The threshold could also be a random number. For example:

player1.attack = randn ()
[player2 etc]
minval = randn ()
for player in players:
  if player.attack > minval:
    [...attack...]

The question at the bottom is easy to implement, basically exactly as you’ve written it:

variable = random.randrange(1,10)

if 0 <= variable < 3:
   then do this
if 3 <= variable < 5:
   then do this
if 5 <= variable < 9:
   then do this
