A couple of script questions

First question, is it possible to assign ratios to an array? I've got a script event that has several Pokemon in an array, but I want some Pokemon to have a higher rate than the others.

Second question, how do I assign a specific game variable to a script? Would it be as simple as BLANK = 30, or would that just set a variable called BLANK to have a value of 30 instead of whatever is stored in variable 30? I have to ask this because I'm trying to setup a script to track a variable, but I've also realized that if I simply did something like BLANK = 30 and then do "if BLANK < 2" then the script might actually think that BLANK is supposed to be 30 and not whatever is stored in variable 30. I was going to test this myself, but I'm stuck redoing a bunch of stuff before that script comes into play.

1) Just do an array of arrays.
array = [[:PIKACHU, 50], [:ENTEI, 30], [:MEW, 20]]
Depending on what you're trying to do, you'd likely generate a random number, then run through a loop of array.length, and at each step subtract the index 1 value. If the value is < 0, it returns the index 0 value (the Pokemon). Else, move on to the next iteration and repeat until it returns a Pokemon. That's how wild encounter selection happens as an example

2) pbGet(30) gives you the value of variable 30. Or $game_variables[30]. So just do "if pbGet(30) < 2"

I'll try that solution. Hopefully it doesn't just end up giving me Pokemon of that level instead.

As for the second question, I ended up finding the answer on my own today. Unfortunately, my attempts to edit a script have been less than successful, and I don't really know ruby script well enough to get my edits working. It acts like I'm missing an "end" line, but I can't see anywhere I'm missing one. All I know is that it has something to do with my edit. All I know is that whatever I'm really missing, it's in this section of code.
Ruby:

if $game_variables[30] < 2

You need an end after each case/when block, and one to close off the if/elsif/else block.Though you seem to have multiple if statements rather than if/elsif/else, so if you want to keep it that way, each if needs an end too.
not much of a fan of using a global game variable when a local one would do
Is that the Cram-o-matic? If it's my script, just below that block there's the same weighted ratio random selection that Wrigty described.

I believe it is, in fact, your Cram-O-Matic script that I've been tweaking, yes. I've tried adding end after every if block, but that didn't seem to make any difference. elsif does seem to fix my edits. Unfortunately, the script still isn't working since it's taking me to the bag screen and not displaying any items even with the original. Other than that, I'm just struggling with understanding how to set up the weighted random.

I would recommend looking up some videos or websites to learn some of the basics of Ruby. Things like if/else statements and case/when statements are basic coding skills to know. Array manipulation can get more intense, but you can learn some basics first.
