Capture Chance Formula and Calculator
Pokeball Capture Chance Formula
F = fA - fB - fC + fD + fE fA = ((((1 - (dino_health / dino_health_max)) * 100) / 10) + rand) * pokeball_type fB = debuff_count * 10 fC = (dino_health_max / chance_life_modifier) * chance_life_percent_modifier fD = sleeping_capture_percent_bonus fE = pokeball_type * 5 F = The calculated capture chance

Exceptions
If dino is not sleeping, fD = 0
If dino can be tamed while asleep, fE = 0
If pokeball_type is 4, F = 100

Constants
pokeball_type - A number assigned to each type of Pokeball
- Pokeball = 1
- Greatball = 2
- Ultraball = 3
- Masterball = 4

Variables
dino_health - The current health of the dino
dino_health_max - The maximum health of the dino
rand - A random floating point number between 1-5 (inclusive)
debuff_count - How many stacks of the capture failed debuff are on the dino (max 6)
