[FOUND SOLUTION] Pet chances not supporting percentages lower than 1?
This has been a problem for many people including me. The local Chance doesn't make the pets under 1% hatchable. The 1 in math.random(1,TotalWeight) would need to be 0 but it won't work.
01 | function ChoosePet(Egg) |
02 | local Data = Eggs[Egg] |
03 | local Pets = Data["Pets"] |
04 | local TotalWeight = 0 |
05 | for i,v in pairs(Pets) do |
06 | TotalWeight = TotalWeight + v.Rarity |
07 | end |
08 | local Chance = math.random(1,TotalWeight) |
09 | local Counter = 0 |
10 | for i,v in pairs(Pets) do |
11 | Counter = Counter+v.Rarity |
12 | if Counter >= Chance then |
13 | return v.Name |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end |
This script is from the better pet system. However there's another pet system that has working pet chances, it basically has a math.random(1,TotalWeight) too however it also has this:
1 | if Chance <= Counter then |
2 | return i |
Both of these pet systems obviously work differently. The "i" are the suffixes and I believe that this is what makes the pets under 1% hatchable. I still don't know how to make this possible in the other pet system. Any help?

I think it is because math.random does not go into decimals by itself, the way I get math.random with decimals is do something like math.random(0,100)/100 munkuush 22 — 4y

Looking at this, its half way down, math.random returns a decimal value between 0 and 1, multiply this by some value and this will give you a value between 0 and some value. This should fit you case. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/math marine5575 359 — 4y

A use Case: math.randomseed(math.random()*math.random) local Chance = math.random() * 100 if chance <= counter then return v.Name marine5575 359 — 4y

Please remember to use math.randomseed so that your pet system is not susceptible to RNG manipulation! marine5575 359 — 4y
