Gem spawn rate

[Achmed]

Im thinking of using gems as high value item you can trade in your briefcases for as a way of taking up less space and something to work towards

 

looking at the gem code it looks as if there is the same chance for them all to spawn rather then some more rare then others

		if (_isMine) then {
			if((random 10) <= 4) then {
				_gems = ["ItemTopaz","ItemObsidian","ItemSapphire","ItemAmethyst","ItemEmerald","ItemCitrine","ItemRuby"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
		};

Would the code below work to make it so each gem has a different spawn chance?

		if (_isMine) then {
			if((random 20) <= 7) then {
				_gems = ["ItemTopaz"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
			{else}
			if((random 20) <= 6) then {
				_gems = ["ItemObsidian"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
			{else}
			if((random 20) <= 5) then {
				_gems = ["ItemSapphire"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
			{else}
			if((random 20) <= 4) then {
				_gems = ["ItemAmethyst"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
			{else}
			if((random 20) <= 3) then {
				_gems = ["ItemEmerald"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
			{else}
			if((random 20) <= 2) then {
				_gems = ["ItemCitrine"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
			{else}
			if((random 20) <= 1) then {
				_gems = ["ItemRuby"];
				_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
				_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
			};
		};

Try this:

_randomMineCount = floor(random 21); //0-20
if (_isMine) then {
if (_randomMineCount <= 7) then {
_gems = ["ItemTopaz"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
if (_randomMineCount <= 6) then {
_gems = ["ItemObsidian"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
if (_randomMineCount <= 5) then {
_gems = ["ItemSapphire"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
if (_randomMineCount <= 4) then {
_gems = ["ItemAmethyst"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
if (_randomMineCount <= 3) then {
_gems = ["ItemEmerald"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
if (_randomMineCount <= 2) then {
_gems = ["ItemCitrine"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
if (_randomMineCount <= 1) then {
_gems = ["ItemRuby"];
_gem = _gems select (floor(random (count _gems)));
_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};
};

This is untested. You can also do it with "Switch do" .

tried that and a few other ways but nothing i do can get it to work :(

 

it should be such a simple thing as well

Try something like this:

if (_isMine) then {
	_rnd = random 100;
	if (_rnd < 40) then {_gem = "ItemTopaz";};       //13.6%
	if (_rnd < 26.4) then {_gem = "ItemObsidian";};  //9.2%
	if (_rnd < 17.2) then {_gem = "ItemSapphire";};  //6.4%
	if (_rnd < 10.8) then {_gem = "ItemAmethyst";};  //4.4%
	if (_rnd < 6.4) then {_gem = "ItemEmerald";};    //3.2%
	if (_rnd < 3.2) then {_gem = "ItemCitrine";};    //2%
	if (_rnd < 1.2) then {_gem = "ItemRuby";};       //1.2%
	_selectedRemoveOutput set [(count _selectedRemoveOutput),[_gem,1]];
};

};

I tried using this but when i do no gems spawn at all. I must be doing something wrong. Does this work on your server?

 

I figured it out. I had to add "_gem" to the list of private variables at the top.
