RNGNeeds - Probability Distribution

🎲 RNGNeeds – The Ultimate Probability Distribution Plugin for Unity 🎲

✨ Stop fighting random number generators! Design predictable randomness for loot tables, enemy spawns, card decks, and gameplay events — directly inside the Unity Inspector.

✨ Enhance your game mechanics with Probability Influence — an innovative concept that enables dynamic probability adjustments based on external factors. Define rules that shape the odds during gameplay and create organic, unique experiences.

✨ Visually author probability distributions for NPC behaviors, dialogue choices, random encounters, ambient sounds, or character voice responses in a fully customizable Inspector Drawer.

✨ Take control of random item drops, monster spawns, card decks, dice rolls, damage modifiers, or even organic animations using probability distribution with unparalleled simplicity and ease of use.

UPDATE v1.0.0🔥Inspector & Quality-of-Life Improvements🔥

This update brings new helper methods, an IEnumerable implementation, visual polish & various quality of life improvements.

UPDATE v0.9.9🔥New Major Feature – Weighted Distribution🔥

In addition to the default percentile-based workflow, you can now use weights to design probabilities. Weighted distribution has been a highly requested feature — a common RNG need our plugin aims to fulfill. Using weights allows you to apply a tried-and-true approach to probability design, significantly expanding your game design possibilities.

UPDATE v0.9.8🔥New Major Feature – Depletable Lists🔥

Depletable Lists are a powerful feature that allows items to have limited availability. By setting the maximum and available units for each item, you unlock a wide range of possibilities for your game mechanics. Depletable items can be used in various ways, such as ensuring unique reward selections or managing multiple instances of the same item, like card decks or loot tables.

"Every game thrives on an element of surprise, that tantalizing unpredictability that hooks players in. But managing this randomness, these 'RNG needs', is often more art than science. With RNGNeeds, you have a Unity plugin that redefines randomness, transforming it from a wild variable into a finely-tuned instrument of creativity."

✨ Need to raise the odds of a critical strike based on player stats? Want to increase the chance of spawning that elite monster when it's close to midnight? Perhaps you need to drop health potions more often in tutorial scenarios.

"Beyond the dice rolls and item drops, RNGNeeds offers you a canvas of opportunity. Imagine dynamically adjusting the frequency of in-game storms as your player progresses through the storyline, modulating NPC behavior based on time of day, or making the battle more intense if the music volume is loud."
