I want to use math.random on a table of system messages to send every 250 seconds, but I don’t know how, is there a way to do this or atleast an easier way? This should be in normal lua, I don’t know why it wouldn’t be in ROBLOX lua.

#2 
local msgs = {"hi","bye","ok","nice","cool"}

local msg = math.random(0,#msgs)

print(msgs[msg])

local your_table = {"Hello", "Bye", "What"}

local result = your_table[math.random(1,#your_table)]
print(result)
