How can I create a RNG System which increases the chance of an successful shot and resets the chance afterwards?

Hello There!

As the title says, I’m making a weapon based off a certain battler in The Battle Bricks, that being Gamble Battler. In the game, he has a 1/6 chance of either firing a powerful shot or failing but each time he fails to fire, he increases the chances of successfully firing and each time he fires, the chances reset.

Now, I know how to make the RNG part with math.random(), although, I don’t know how to make it so that each time you fail, the chances increases. How can I do that exactly?

it’s easy,
local Chance = {Minimum,Max}
–example 1 in 20
local number = math.random(Chance[1],Chance[2]
if number ~= 1 and Chance[2] >= 2 then
print(“unsuccess”)
Chance[2] -= 1
elseif number == 1 and Chance[2] >= 2 then
print(“success”)
end

But how can I reset the chance once the player fires a successful shot?

#4

By setting it to 20 (or whatever number) back.

Chance[2] = 20

Alright, thanks!

I’ve decided to unsolve your answer as I’ve found a problem, it only decreases the chance by one and sticks to that until I guess the chances reset

(For example, when it fails, it decreases the chance by 1/5 and stays like that until I think the chances reset.)

How is that happening? Can I see your code?

Sure, sorry if it’s sloppy

local Chance = {1,6}
	
	local Number = math.random(Chance[1],Chance[2])
	if Number ~= 1 and Chance[2] >= 2 then
		
		GunHandle.Fail:Play()
		Chance[2] -= 1
		print("CHANCE IS NOW "..Chance[2])
		
		GunHandle.Attachment.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true
		task.wait(0.2)
		GunHandle.Attachment.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false
		
	elseif Number == 1 and Chance[2] >= 2 then
		
		GunHandle.Fire:Play()
		GunHandle.Attachment.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = true

		ShakeEvent:FireClient(Plr,0.5)

		local raycast = workspace:Raycast(GunHandle.Position, (MousePOS - GunHandle.Position).Unit * 200)
		local hitbox = raycast.Instance

		if hitbox then
			
			local char = hitbox.Parent
			local Humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if Humanoid and char ~= Plr.Character and Humanoid.Health >= 1 then
				Humanoid:TakeDamage(384)

				if Humanoid.Health <= 1 then
					local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",char.PrimaryPart)
					BodyVelocity.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1) * math.huge

					local Dir = (char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position - Plr.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Position).Unit
					BodyVelocity.Velocity = (Dir + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0)).Unit * 250
					game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(BodyVelocity,.025)
				end
				
			end

			task.wait(0.2)
			GunHandle.Attachment.ParticleEmitter.Enabled = false
			Chance[2] = 6
			print("CHANCE RESET BACK TO "..Chance[2])
			
		end

It’s supposed to work, Unless there are errors.

#10

I don’t see any errors whatsoever.

#11

Are you making the table everytime it fires? That is the reason maybe.

#12

Oh yeah, I’ll try to remove the table out of the remote event

EDIT: It does work, thanks man
