Generate randomly with probability?
Is there a way to generate something randomly with one outcome being more probable than the other? For example, could I have one map having an 80% chance of happening, another map having a 19% chance of loading, and another one having a 1% chance of loading?

num = math.random(1,10) if num < 8 then map1 elseif num >=8 then map2 etc etc Vulkarin 581 — 7y

01 | local chances = { |
02 | ['variable1'] = 70, |
03 | ['variable2'] = 20, |
04 | ['variable3'] = 10, |
05 | -- [variable] = chance integer |
06 | } |
07 |
08 | local results = {} |
09 |
10 | table.foreach(chances, function(key, value) |
11 | for i = 1, value do |
12 | table.insert(results, key) |
13 | print(key) |
14 | end |
15 | end) |
16 |
17 | local random = math.random(#results) |
18 | print(random) |
19 | print(results[random]) |

Thank you! Sorry for my ignorance on the basic functions of ROBLOX Lua, just getting started! TiredMelon 405 — 7y
