Hey! So basically I have a script to make teams random, but it only works once, then its not random anymore how do I make it random? Heres the variable that controls all the randomness
local randTeam = math.random(1,2)
(I used Random.new, it does the same thing)
You have to set it every time. You can do something like this:
local randTeam -- This just defines the variable
while wait(1) do -- Every second (it won't be exact)
randTeam = math.random(1, 2) -- Set the variable
end
Do you think this would still work if this was a round based game?
Yes. Just set the variable every time the round starts.
Hey I am back, I don’t think any of it changed, should I make it wait() instead?
It should work try adding print(randTeam) to test it
The random isn’t very random and it often does returns the same value atleast twice
Why are you doing it every second?
This is the entire script

I thought of doing wait() because, this only fires when the round starts, it chooses random values, I thought that 1 second was too long and it didnt have time to change the randomness
Make this a new thread:
task.spawn(function()
while task.wait(1) do -- Every second (it won't be exact)
randTeam = math.random(1, 2) -- Set the variable
end
end)
Ohhh. So the while wait(1) will run forever. If you want to wait before setting their team, just do
wait(1) -- how long it should wait (you can remove it or switch it to wait() if you want it to be instant)
randTeam = math.random(1, 2)
I thought you wanted it to be set every second.
tested it 4 times it had the same killer, it doesnt work
A 50% chance occurring 4 times consecutively isn’t that unlikely, perhaps you were just unlucky.
