About Helliox RNG
Beta Version - 2024
A Sol's RNG-style Roblox game where players click to roll for random weapons with varying rarities. Features a sophisticated RNG system with luck modifiers, comprehensive inventory management, and dynamic player stats that change based on equipped weapons.
As the main scripter, I developed the core game systems from scratch, learning Lua programming through tutorials and practical implementation. This was my first major scripting project, providing valuable experience in game development and system architecture.
Project Status
Beta Phase Completed
Helliox RNG reached a functional beta state with core systems implemented and tested. However, the game was never released publicly after the initial beta phase. I stopped working on the project as my services were no longer needed by the development team.
Completed Features
- Core RNG system with luck modifiers
- Inventory and equipment management
- Player stats system
- Data persistence system
Project Outcome
- Beta phase successfully completed
- Game never released publicly
- Services no longer required
- Valuable learning experience gained
Scripting
Core Game Systems
I developed the core RNG system with exponential luck modifiers, comprehensive inventory and equipment systems, player stats management, and data persistence. This was my first major scripting project where I learned Lua programming through tutorials and practical implementation.
RNG System
- Exponential luck modifiers
- Weighted random selection
- Weapon validation system
- Dynamic chance calculations
Player Systems
- Inventory management
- Equipment system
- Stats modification
- Data persistence
The Core Algorithm
The RNG system uses an innovative exponential weighting method that transforms "1 in X" chances into dynamic weights based on player luck modifiers.
Step 1: Chance Input
Each weapon has a chance value representing "1 in X" odds:
- •
chance = 10→ 1 in 10 (10% chance) - •
chance = 100→ 1 in 100 (1% chance) - •
chance = 1000→ 1 in 1000 (0.1% chance)
Step 2: Luck Modification
Apply exponential adjustment using player's luck modifier:
adjustedChance = chance ^ (1 / luckModifier)- •
luckModifier = 1.0→ No change - •
luckModifier = 2.0→ Square root (better odds) - •
luckModifier = 0.5→ Square (worse odds)
Step 3: Weight Calculation
Convert adjusted chance to selection weight:
weight = 1 / adjustedChanceWhy inverse? Lower chance = Higher weight (more likely to be selected)
Step 4: Random Selection
Use weighted random selection:
- 1. Calculate total weight of all weapons
- 2. Generate random number (0 to total weight)
- 3. Iterate through weapons, accumulate weights
- 4. Select weapon when cumulative weight exceeds random number
Practical Example
Common Weapon
Original: 1 in 10
With 2x Luck: 1 in 3.16
~3x better odds!
Rare Weapon
Original: 1 in 100
With 2x Luck: 1 in 10
~10x better odds!
Epic Weapon
Original: 1 in 1000
With 2x Luck: 1 in 31.6
~32x better odds!
Key Benefits
- Exponential scaling for dramatic effects
- Balanced progression across all rarities
- Maintains rarity hierarchy
- Smooth scaling with luck improvements
UI/UX Design
Temporary Beta Interface
I designed and implemented temporary UI systems for the beta version, including weapon display interfaces, rolling mechanics, inventory management, and player stats visualization. The UI was essential for showcasing all the scripting features.
Core Interfaces
- Main rolling interface
- Weapon display system
- Luck modifier display
- Rolling animations
Management Systems
- Inventory management UI
- Equipment interface
- Player stats display
- Weapon rarity indicators
