In pins 1
- array required
array<object>Array of objects, should contain
weightkey.
Out pins 2
- object
object - weight
number
Picks one object from the array with probability proportional to its weight field and outputs it on object with its weight on weight. Only object items whose weight is an actual finite number participate; numeric STRINGS are ignored. When no item qualifies the block emits NOTHING on either pin.
A typical wiring for get weighted random: the object out pin feeds custom field.
