How to make huge chances to get(ex. 1/1qn) using scripts( in case roblox limitations of value)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    So basically i need to put in value like instead of “100000” to 100k, because in case of roblox limitations i can’t make huge value of chance

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible! Idk how to convert it like that

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub? I tryed to set values by myself, but this is hard and roblox have limits

I wanna make it with script or maybe without it, any ideas how to do that?

#2

I wanna make something like in luck simulator better here is an screenshot:

#3

I set up values by myself max to qn and after that there is discord limitations, idk how to make it more

This is my number abbreviation script, you can keep adding more powers of 10 if you want.

function aberviate(number)
	local abreviations = {
		[3] = "K",
		[6] = "M",
		[9] = "B",
		[12] = "T",
		[15] = "Qa",
		[18] = "Qi",
		[21] = "Sx",
		[24] = "Se",
		[27] = "Oc",
		[30] = "Nn"
	}
	if number < 1000 then
		return number
	elseif string.find(tostring(number),"e+") then
		local split = string.split(tostring(number),"e+")
		if split[1] and split[2] then
			local power = tonumber(split[2])
			if power then
				local abreviation = power - (power % 3)
				local truepre = tonumber(split[1])
				if truepre then
					local preAb = tostring(truepre * (10^(power-(abreviation)))) .. " "
					return preAb .. abreviations[abreviation]
				end
			else
				return number
			end
		end
	elseif not string.find(tostring(number),"e+") then
		local num = tostring(math.floor(number))
		local length = #num
		local trueLength = #num % 3
		if trueLength == 0 then
			trueLength = 3
		end
		local abreviation = abreviations[length-trueLength]
		if abreviation then
			local startNum = string.sub(num, 1, trueLength) .. "."
			local decimals = string.sub(num, trueLength+1,trueLength+2) .. " "
			if startNum and decimals then
				return startNum .. decimals .. abreviation
			else
				return number
			end
		else
			return number
		end
	end
end

Thanks, but, how do i make this to the value?

#6

What do you mean? Well this is how you use it

local number = aberviate(1230000)
print(number) --> 1.230 M
#7

Oh, i mean i need to put this number in the value, I have chance value for each generator. Like gen1 1/1 gen2 1/125 gen3/1.25k and etc.

  • here is how values look
#9

This is one of 50 values (30 lettersssssssss) + one of 50 chance values

#10

Well you can make a math function to get the denominator of your chance fraction then put it into the abreviator then take the result and concatenate it like:

local fraction = "1/"..tostring(number)
#11

Hmm, it’s good idea, but i need to random each second to get new gens, like random.math, but i can’t use random.math with .x numbers?

#12

Im confused what you mean. You want to generate random numbers with the fraction but can use the string? Yeah just hold the original value then do math.random(1,chanceInteger)

#13

I mean, each second there will be running random math in other script which randomly could give you any of generators, but as i remember i can’t use fractional numbers?

#14

And also how i could using this script put all chances in 50 values, using for loop maybe

#15

Im talking about just for display. You can display the fraction like you wanted in the GUI and the rest can be normal.

#16

I mean i can’t use fractional numbers in math.random? or i can?

#17

Yes but I don’t see how this helps.

#18

Ok thanks it help me, another quick question i need to put those chances(number) in all 50 values, i wanted to use smth like that

local Frame = AGGUIClone:WaitForChild("Frame")
		for i, lines in ipairs(Frame:GetChildren()) do
			for i, buttons in ipairs(lines:GetChildren()) do
				buttons:FindFirstChild("Chance").Value  = 0-- Here i need to edit values for chances
			end

But i i need 50 values not one, and all values(chances) are different

#19

You have the chances right? You can make a table of these chances then iterate through them to run the random number. I’m just not quite sure what your trying to accomplish.

#20

So i could just make smth like that

local ChanceTables = {
Gen1Chance =  1
Gen2Chance  = 25
Gen3Chance  = 250
Gen4Chance  = 1250 -- and etc
}
