How Do you make Luck better?

[habitat85]

I looked through the scripts, found LootPack.cs and noticed theres different levels of the luck like rich, ultra rich and so on. is there a way to make luck work better ( give better stuff then what it does now) by editing something different then all the levels (Rich, FilthyRich, UltraRich etc..)
Found these lines

		public void Generate( Mobile from, Container cont, bool spawning, int luckChance )
		{
			if ( cont == null )
				return;

			bool checkLuck = Core.AOS;

			for ( int i = 0; i < m_Entries.Length; ++i )
			{
				LootPackEntry entry = m_Entries[i];

				bool shouldAdd = ( entry.Chance > Utility.Random( 10000 ) );

				if ( !shouldAdd && checkLuck )
				{
					checkLuck = false;
					shouldAdd = LootPack.CheckLuck( luckChance );
				}

				if ( !shouldAdd )
					continue;

				Item item = entry.Construct( from, luckChance, spawning );

				if ( item != null )
				{
					if ( !item.Stackable || !cont.TryDropItem( from, item, false ) )
						cont.DropItem( item );
				}
			}
		}

In this line im not sure what its doing

				bool shouldAdd = ( entry.Chance > Utility.Random( 10000 ) );

If I change the 10000 to 5000 what is that going to do? or if I made it greater then 10000 whats that going to do?

try it and let us know...... seriously

[weaselboy246]

you could make a ring that adds 10000 luck...lol.. theres the cheap way out..

lol no thanks.

Ive already tested luck and its just like OSI.... Worthless lol I tested it with 1000 luck, 2000 luck and 5000 luck, and killed random levels of monsters by the 100's
Think my players like it better when I beef monsters loot up without dealing with luck since you dont get anything good with luck no matter how high you have on

PackMagicItems( 3, 10 );

Seems better :P


But if I can get it so luck actually works better by dropping loot like that line will then HURAY for luck other wise its a usless attribute in my opinion

<sigh>

You should make the random smaller not larger if you want:

bool shouldAdd = ( entry.Chance > Utility.Random( 10000 ) );

That bool to be true

Trust me Luck does effect loot, you just have to adjust the code so it does what you want.

But do what you want.

So if I change the Utility.Random( 10000 )
to something like Utility.Random( 5000 )

that will make it better right?

Also don't forget to adjust the attribute cap per min/max attributes in the PackMagicWeapon or whatever they are.
