How can I make a script clone an item from storage or lighting at probability? [Solved]
So I have a script that choses an option that has a set probability of being chosen and then prints what it chose. My question is how can I make that script clone the item it choses. Example: I am the script is for an egg that will hatch into a dinosaur, right now it choses the dinosaur name but how can I make it put that dinosaur into the game. I assume I should put what its choosing like so
local Dilo = game.ServerStorage.Dilophosaurus
but I'm not sure exactly how to make it clone that dino. Would I have to put that dino in the location I want it and then move it to Serverstorage or Lighting?
Heres my current probability script in the egg.
local random=math.random(0,100)
local randomchoice
if random <= 15 then
randomchoice = "Dilo" --15%
print ("Dilophosaurus Hatched!")
elseif random <= 40 and random >= 15 then --25%
randomchoice = "Pachy"
print ("Pachy Hatched!")
elseif random <= 55 and random >= 40 then --15%
randomchoice = "Trike"
print ("Triceratops Hatched!")
elseif random <= 70 and random >= 55 then --15%
randomchoice = "Coeluro"
print ("Coelurosaur Hatched!")
elseif random <= 100 and random >= 70 then --30%
randomchoice = "Compy"
print ("Compy Hatched!")
end
Any help on how this can work is greatly appreciated thanks ahead!

Sorta. You should be able to do "local Dilo = game.ServerStorage.Dilophosaurus:Clone()" followed by "Dilo.Parent = workspace" if you want the clone to be put into the game (which is what I'm assuming). ScrewDeath 153 — 5y

ok first things first, the location, it's best to place it in replicated storage or server storage Zendaya774isstupid 50 — 5y

There is no reason to store objects in Lighting. Lighting is used for skyboxes, post effects, and environmental lighting. I don't think a "dilophosaurus" is a skybox or post effect. User#19524 175 — 5y

you would do something like this:
local egg=game.Workspace.Egg
local dilo=game.ServerStorage.Dilo
local randomchoice
local function hatch
if randomchoice=="Dilo" then
local babydino=dilo:Clone()
babydino.Parent=game.Workspace
babydino.CFrame=egg.Positon
egg:Destroy()
print("a dilo has hatched!")
end
end
