hi sooo
im trying to make an airdrop system, where a drop has a loot table of certain items, each item has a max amount that can be in drop at once, and a chance to be in the drop.
so, the thing is, i made this system to do these random loot table shenanigans, in theory it should be working.
in practice, i get a Script Timeout: exhausted allowed execution time error, and i have no idea how to fix it
the problem seems to be lying in the repeat function-thing
local function AddItem()
for i, tool in ipairs(AvailableItems) do
if #CurrentItems < MaxItems then
local TotalPercent = 100
for i = 1, AvailableItems[i][3], 1 do
if math.random(AvailableItems[i][2],TotalPercent) <= AvailableItems[i][2] and #CurrentItems < MaxItems then -- checks random chance
local AmountOfItems = 0
for num, repeats in ipairs(CurrentItems) do -- checks if amount of a certain item type in drop is less than its allowed value
if repeats == AvailableItems[i][1] then
AmountOfItems += 1
end
end
if AmountOfItems > AvailableItems[i][3] then
table.insert(CurrentItems,AvailableItems[i][1])
end
end
TotalPercent -= AvailableItems[i][2] -- makes random chance bigger on a reroll
end
end
end
end
local function CreateToolList()
if Tools ~= nil and Tools:GetChildren() then
if AvailableItems[1] == nil then
for i, tool in pairs(Tools:GetChildren()) do -- creates a table of all items available for drops
if tool:GetAttribute("ChanceInDrop") then
local NewTable = {}
NewTable[1] = tool
NewTable[2] = tool:GetAttribute("ChanceInDrop") -- chance of item type in drop
NewTable[3] = tool:GetAttribute("MaxInDrop") -- max amount of item type in drop
table.insert(AvailableItems,NewTable)
end
end
end
repeat AddItem() until #CurrentItems == MaxItems -- TIMEOUT HAPPENS HERE
for i, v in pairs(CurrentItems) do
local Value = Instance.new("ObjectValue",script.Airdrop.Tools)
Value.Value = v
Value.Name = v.Name
end
CurrentItems = {}
end
end
