Need help with script

I decided to update an old game about limits and something went wrong. I completed this modul script for 4 hours with a friend, but then I realized that something was wrong. Is it possible to spawn an item with a chance from this list?

It works something like this:
[“Item Name”] = {“Item Displayname”, 5(chance), 96095042(item id), 1700(price)},

local limited = {
	{

Although the complex and long structure of your limited table, it is still possible to extract data from it.

print("Black Iron Commando Rarity: "..limited[1]["Normal"]["Common Items"]["Items"]["Black Iron Commando"][2])
print("Black Iron Commando Price: "..limited[1]["Normal"]["Common Items"]["Items"]["Black Iron Commando"][4])

If you were to redesign it to make it more simpler, I would recommend that you store these values as physical objects like String/NumberValues (inside Folders) within the game world (i.e. ServerStorage).

Yes, I understand that. But how can I spawn a random item from this list? With a chance

one way would be to assign each rarity a number rarity, example:

["Rarites"] = {
    ["Atomic"] = 0.01
    ["Legendary"] = 3.5
    ["Common"] = 100
}

common is set to 100 on purpouse, you’ll see in a second.
now how we’re gonna roll the chance would be using math.random, i usually like to keep this in a module somewhere so i can just access it anytime i want a random chance to be rolled.

the formula for this would be looping through all possible rarities from the lootbox / whatever you’re opening in order from most rare to most common, and then doing a math.random(RarityChance, 100)

let’s say RarityChance is like 3.5 (legendary), in that math.random it’d be math.random(3.5,100), right? not quite, this is the only problem with this, since math.random doesnt work with decimals.
you’d have to multiply both the 100 and the RarityChance (3.5 in this case) with a number that will remove the decimals, in this scenario 10, and then you’ll have math.random(35,1000), which is the same chance, and it works! now that the rarity is rolled, just choose a random item from that rarity / whatever the lootbox contains.

if all other rarities fail, it gets to the last one which should be 100, or in other words garaunteed, because if not there’d be a chance you open nothing from the lootbox.

adding stuff like luck modifiers would also be easy, just multiply RarityChance by the luck multiplier number.
