Rarity system feedback

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello,

I made a rarity system script, but I don’t know if it’s that good

Is there a simpler/better way?

Here’s the script.

  • Are there any improvements or optimizations I can make?
  • Is there a more efficient way to do this?
  • Any tips on best practices for this type of script?
local RARITY_TABLE = {
	{VALUE = "Nothing?", RARTIY = 1},
	{VALUE = "Water", RARTIY = 2},
	{VALUE = "Food", RARTIY = 3},
	{VALUE = "Woah, thats rare!", RARTIY = 0.2},
}

function create_Rarity()
	local TOTAL_RARITY = 0
	
	for _, v in pairs(RARITY_TABLE) do
		TOTAL_RARITY = TOTAL_RARITY + v.RARTIY
	end
	
	local RETURNED_VALUE = 0
	local RANDOM_VALUE = TOTAL_RARITY * math.random()
	
	for _, v in pairs(RARITY_TABLE) do
		RETURNED_VALUE = RETURNED_VALUE + v.RARTIY
		if RETURNED_VALUE >= RANDOM_VALUE then
			return v.VALUE
		end
	end
end

while task.wait(0.1) do
	local VALUE = create_Rarity()
	
	print(VALUE)
end
