Luck Gamepass Help

  1. What do you want to achieve?
    I’d like to make it so that players with a certain gamepass get better chances at egg hatching (3x better).

  2. What is the issue?
    I’m not sure which one of the solutions I currently have is better.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far?
    The Chance variable is a random value from 1 to the Weight of the Egg.
    I have 3 solutions that I’ve tried:

1st Solution: If they own the gamepass, they get their chance selected randomly from (1,Weight/3), the lower values being the rarer pets.

This is the function that I use for this solution. Here Pets has been made into an Array from the Dictionary, so that I can sort it from rare to common rarities. The Array has the weights for each pet, for example the rarest pet has the weight 1 and the most common one has the weight 40.

for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
	TotalWeight = TotalWeight + v[1]
end

local function ChoosePet(Player)
	local Chance
	if isLucky == false then
		Chance = math.random(1,TotalWeight)
	else
		Chance = math.random(1,TotalWeight/3)
	end
	local Counter = 0
	for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
		Counter = Counter+v[1]
		if Chance <= Counter then
			return v.Name
		end
	end
end

2nd Solution: Use the normal chance but use the choosing function 3 times and then give the best pet of the 3.
3rd Solution: The rare pets get their weight multiplied with 3 so they are hatched more often.
Basically in this one I’ll just do this:

for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
	TotalWeight = TotalWeight + v[1]
	if v[1] <= 20 then
		TotalWeight += 2*v[1]
	end
end

I haven’t written any code for the other 2, but it’s fairly simple to.
In case none of the solutions I’ve thought of are good, please suggest me one.

#2

It’d sure be helpful if we can see any attempted code so we can identity the problem or narrow the path for you. Otherwise, we’re running on baseless assumptions.

#3

What code or script have you tried

#4

I’ve updated it with the code from the first solution I’ve tried. The other 2 are just some ideas that I thought of, they’re fairly simple to do. I only care which one would work the best to increase the chance by 3 times. If none of them do, please suggest me one that would.

#5

1- Create a table including every pet’s name like this: {“noob”, “good boi”}
2- now have a loop over the rare pets you want the increase the chance at hatching and add them to the same table again 2 times, if we say noob pet is rare then it should look like this {“noob”, “noob”, “noob”, “good boi”}
3- select a random value in the table
4- done

#6

So basically my 3rd solution right?

#7

Probably not, just go ahead and try it, it has to work.
