luck change

[main sierra]

So have a simple math.random script and i was wondering if anyone could help me with making an editable text label where you can multiply or somehow change your luck
I am really bad at scripting and i wouldnt figure out myself. thanks

[vivid plume]

idk

[high mango]

Not what the channel is for.

[vivid plume]

yes it is

[smoky rock]

Well considering the post guidelines say

4️⃣ We won't write scripts for you. This forum channel is solely for asking questions.
We can try and guide you, but can't make it for you.

If you show us the code it may help.

If you take a look at the TextBox gui (https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/TextBox) that'd be a good place to start. You'd have to make it custom to limit the input to only numbers by its OnPropertyChanged("Text") event and replacing the text

Then use that to change the threshold you check for

[main sierra]

mutliple ppl already made a script for me

in this chanel

[vivid plume]

no hate bt are u a clanker

u type allat so fast

[smoky rock]

Sounds like hate to me

[main sierra]

nft ahh pfp

[high mango]

[vivid plume]

[smoky rock]

Doesn't mean it's suddenly allowed...?

[vivid plume]

gah

[smoky rock]

Because I've been typing all my life...?

[main sierra]

this aint place to beef ok?

keep this in dms or something

[vivid plume]

dang but with the links and evrthing

[smoky rock]

(I had this PFP commissioned quite a few years ago)

[main sierra]

i was just guessing

[vivid plume]

i keep procastinating scripting😢

[main sierra]

i think i can figure this out but i really just want to know how do i change the math.random luck

somehor

w

[smoky rock]

So how do you check if the math.random check passed? If I know that I can help guide you

[main sierra]

huh

[smoky rock]

So have a simple math.random script
Lemme see

[main sierra]

it generates random number on button click

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
rng = math.random(1,10000000)
RollValue.Value = rng
end)

really simple

id say

[smoky rock]

Okay, but I need to see where you use that RollValue's value

[main sierra]

RollValue.Changed:Connect(function()
if RollValue.Value <= 10000000 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Transform:FireServer("Common")
end
if RollValue.Value <= 2000000 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.Transform:FireServer("Uncommon")
end
end)

[smoky rock]

Okay, so that first if is going to run no matter what, as you're rolling a 10,000,000 die, and saying all values at 10,000,000 and below will be "Common", so that's every value

I'd suggest going from lowest chance to highest for if-statements

but to increase the chance for any one type, increase the number on the right side of the check

so RollValue.Value <= 9_000_000 is a lower chance than RollValue.Value <= 10_000_000

[main sierra]

i understand but i dont

[smoky rock]

That's okay, you can ask all the questions you need to.

What do you understand, and what do you not understand?

[main sierra]

well i dont know how to go from lowest to highest chance and why do i need to

[smoky rock]

you need to change the order of those if-statements there

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-3/intro-to-if-statements

But it looks like it's not an if-else, so I guess that doesn't matter, but you'll have an issue for a low value sending a bunch of signals, as lets say 100 is less than both 10,000,000 and 20,000,000, so it'd send "Common" and "Uncommon"

[main sierra]

so do i change it to elseif?

[smoky rock]

Yes, that'd be a good plan, just making sure you're checking for the lowest chances first

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-3/multiple-conditions (<- details on if-else statements)

[main sierra]

ok

so if i had to guess we wont change math.random but the ifs right?

[smoky rock]

We're not changing how the roll happens, just how we react to what was rolled.

Though you cannot get a roll greater than 10,000,000, so the 20,000,000 check will always happen

[main sierra]

@smoky rock I actually have to finish something in game. So ill let you know when we can do this again.

[smoky rock]

Feel free to ping when you need anything else.

[main sierra]

Does the rarities have to be in order?

[smoky rock]

if you're doing an if-else yes

[main sierra]

what if i have 2 exact same raities does it matter?

like with same chance

oh and- can you just tell me how to kill local player using script?

@smoky rock

[smoky rock]

Only one of the two would be called, not both (with an if-else)

[main sierra]

yeah i found out

can i make a second if?

[smoky rock]

What do you mean?

[main sierra]

...

well it sounds stupid but

i need 2 rarities with same chance

so if i make another if

then i can make the other

[smoky rock]

Why do you need two rarities with the same chance?

[main sierra]

well... ig ill just change the chance to sometin different

[smoky rock]

I suppose that is a good question.

You could have another dice roll in the if condition for that one chance to see which of the sub-rarities it could be

[main sierra]

oh i can just make the chance like .0001 higher and it will be the samew

[smoky rock]

Sure

[main sierra]

@smoky rock why cant i label the local player character in regular script?

[smoky rock]

You cannot use Players.LocalPlayer in a server script

[main sierra]

well i want to create an remote even that kills localplayer

oh

[hot girder]

** You are now Level 8! **

[main sierra]

@smoky rock how can you make the player respawn faster?

[smoky rock]

Click on "Players" in the explorer, change the "RespawnTime" property

[main sierra]

ok

[main sierra]

@smoky rock uhh wanna do the luck change thing?

[smoky rock]

nah

[main sierra]

why

[smoky rock]

I'm busy?

[main sierra]

oh ok just tell me when u got time

if you want to still help me

[smoky rock]

Are you asking if I have time to help or do it for you? I have time to help, but not make it for you
