52 Deck Card Shuffling/Randomizer (no repeats)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

The problem with this is that it prints duplicates.

#22

Did you solve it yet?

#23

Sort of, I am trying different things for yours and also @Limited_Unique’s code. I am not very good with tables so with yours, I am having difficulty receiving table.insert values for the randomizer, and with Limited’s, I am having trouble solving the duplicated problem.

I truly appreciate your help.
