You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:
What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
i want to insert a random player form a table to a team but I don’t know how to get random object form a table in a pairs loop
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I got an error said:
ServerScriptService.RoundSystem.script.Main:33: attempt to call missing method ‘GetChildren’ of table
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
I had tried to find the solution on the forum but I can’t find any thing that I need
local RoundSystemFolder = script.Parent.Parent
local info = require(RoundSystemFolder.Module.RoundInfo)
local function insertplayertable()
for i, v in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(info.playerstable, 1, v)
end
end
local function insertteam(toggle)
local currentinsertteam = "Raiders"
if toggle == true then
for i, v in pairs(info.playerstable:GetChildren(math.random(1, #info.playerstable))) do
if currentinsertteam == "Raiders" then
--local currentplayer = v[math.random(1, #v)]
v.Team = info.Raiders
table.remove(info.playerstable, v)
v = "Defenders"
elseif currentinsertteam == "Defenders" then
--local currentplayer = v[math.random(1, #v)]
v.Team = info.Defenders
table.remove(info.playerstable, v)
v = "Raiders"
end
end
elseif toggle == false then
for i, v in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
v.Team = nil
end
end
end
for i, v in pairs(info.playerstable:GetChildren(math.random(1, #info.playerstable))) do
if currentinsertteam == "Raiders" then
local tabl = info.playerstable
local randomplayer = tabl[math.random(1, #tabl)]
randomplayer.Team = info.Raiders
table.remove(info.playerstable, currentinsertteam )
currentinsertteam = "Defenders"
end
end
I made a simple script that shows you how to iterate through a list to pick a random instance, and then proceed to get the children of that single instance.
I assumed in your original code you wanted to get the children of the character, so I also made a search for the model of the character. I was unsure if you wanted to pick a random character or a random child of all characters, so I went for the first option since that seemed most logical. If I am wrong, please let me know and I will update the code accordingly.
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local playerList = {}
game.Players.ChildAdded:Connect(function(player) --//when a player joins the game, add to the list
table.insert(playerList, player)
end)
local function pickRandomPlayer()
local pickedPlayer = playerList[math.random(1, #playerList)] --//pick a random player
print(pickedPlayer, " is picked at random.")
local findCharacter = game.Workspace:GetChildren() --//used to find player's model
for i, v in findCharacter do --//iterate through the workspace to find a match with the picked player
if v.Name == pickedPlayer.Name then --//if there is a match, then
local childrenOfPlayer = v:GetChildren() --//get the children of the player's character
print(childrenOfPlayer) --//print the table of children in the output console
end
end
end
task.wait(3)
pickRandomPlayer() --//activate the function
Note: I acknowledge that this code may not be applied directly in your script, since the end result or execution may differ in some ways. Yet this does show how to solve the question you asked in your topic. You can use the code I made as an example or template to mend it more closely to your liking.
