Event plays when a specific number chosen

#1

so i tried math.random to create a script that repeatedly search a number until a specific number is chosen, for now im using a print. also this is inside a normal script, not a local

local chance = math.random(0, 5)

while true do
	wait(5)
	if chance == 3 then
		print("les goo")
	end
end

before it worked but it was nonstop printing because it was a wait(). so i added a wait(5) and now it wont work, i even set the wait to wait() again but still not working

is it because the math.random wont pick up 3 or theres something wrong about my script?

I assume that your chance variable here isn’t in a loop. Meaning essentially it won’t change at all, making your loop useless if the first time it runs it isn’t 3. Try something like this. There are better, more efficient ways to do this by the way but I’m simply basing this off your current script. Mind the mobile formatting here.

while true do -- your loop
   task.wait(5) -- wait 5 seconds
   local chance = math.random(1, 5) -- pick a number every 5 seconds
   if chance == 3 then -- check if that number is 3
     print("epic") -- print what you want
   end
end

local chance = math.random(0, 5)

while true do
	wait(5)
chance = math.random(0, 5)
	if chance == 3 then
		print("les goo")
