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.

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.
