Adding a bunch of tiles would be imo the most elegant solution but not for that disparate of percentages. Otherwise, you could create a tuple of [tile_type, percent_chance] and select one randomly. The only stipulations for this implementation is that the integer percent chances are in descending order as demonstrated AND that none of the chances are the same integer. This implementation assumes higher roll = better or more rare.
var tile_rarities = [[0, 80], [1, 10], [2, 5], [3,4]]
# list = [[tile_type, integer_percent_chance], [tile_type, integer_percent_chance],...]
func get_random_tile_type(list):
var total = 0
for pair in list:
total += pair[1]
randomize()
var roll = randi() % int(total) + 1
# default value just in case
var chosen_tile = list[0][0]
for pair in list:
if roll <= pair[1]:
chosen_tile = pair[0]
break
else:
roll -= pair[1]
return chosen_tile
Hmm, I don’t think I could fit all of that where I’m trying to put it. I mean, I was just trying to ass this into my auto-generated floor. Which is already in a function, and if I’m not mistaken, I can’t throw a function within a function. I guess I’ll do it the dumb way I said before, I could always use what you typed for loot drops or something.

You can call a function from within a function though…
extends TileMap
func generate_map():
var tile_rarities = [[0, 80], [1, 10], [2, 5], [3,4]]
for row in range(_max_rows):
for col in range(_max_cols):
var selected_tile_type = get_random_tile_type(tile_rarities)
self.set_cell(row, col, selected_tile_type)
func get_random_tile_type(list):
var total = 0
for pair in list:
total += pair[1]
randomize()
var roll = randi() % int(total) + 1
# default value just in case
var chosen_tile = list[0][0]
for pair in list:
if roll <= pair[1]:
chosen_tile = pair[0]
break
else:
roll -= pair[1]
return chosen_tile
That’s in fact how you should write code, it makes it more modular, maintainable and readable.
