Random voting
macman73 opened this issue ยท 4 comments
Hello,
I have a requirement on my server for voters to receive items randomly from currently approx 1000 voting reward scripts each having a 1% chance of being successful. I plan to add more.
Example:
random 1
$/give @player sus:MarvelLogo
This currently gives the players far to many items and players tend to receive anything from 7 to 15 items from a single vote across 4 votes this can get a little too much.
I was wondering if it was possible as a feature addition to be able to use non integers in that argument. Basically less than 1% .
Also what would be the impact of handling 1000's of scripts in a vote I heard reports of players crashing during a vote reward event but I cant confirm this.
Am I going about this all wrong and can you suggest any better ways for me to achieve my goal.
Thankyou for reading.
From a programmer's standpoint, you're better off doing a random int
where int
is the amount of possible outcomes. Then use an array to call the specific outcome.
Your current setup would give every outcome a chance whether or not a different one was performed
There is no flow control or even a @random argument, so using an array of outcomes is not currently possible
This would be possible if we add simple variables which I discussed with @spacebuilder2020 just now:
{
"name": "gift",
"usage": "/gift <player>",
"extraPermissions": {},
"permissionLevel": "TRUE",
"patterns": {
"": [
"echo Usage: /gift <player>"
],
"@p": [
"set index round(@rnd * 3)",
"$/gift gift $index"
],
"gift 1": [ "$/give @player sus:MarvelLogo" ],
"gift 2": [ "$/give @player sus:MarvelLogo" ],
"gift 3": [ "$/give @player sus:MarvelLogo" ]
},
"aliases": []
}
I started a simple draft for this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13M08_ojzjghvkZRRSsE--eyyYnulJtUbIvvyagetw7o
