How to choose a random table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want my script to choose a random table. Is there a way to do it using for example math.random?

-- This is an example script
local table1 = {1,2,10}
local table2 = {5,11,0}
local randomTable = --Choose random table
print(randomTable)

local randomtable 
local table1 = {1,2,10}
local table2 = {5,11,0}
local random = math.random(1,2)
if random == 1 then
randomtable = table1
else
randomtable = table2
end
print(randomTable)

Is there a specific function to choose between tables or do I have to use if statements?

You have to use if statements,but i see nothing wrong wth it

It isn’t required to use if statements.
Instead you could use 1 larger table that has multiple tables within it and then randomly chose one like so:

local Table = {
	{1,2,10},
	{5,11,0}
}

local RandomTable = Table[math.random(1, 2)]
print(RandomTable)

That way works 100%, but there are other methods you can use that are better for optimization and to look better, etc.

Really what is it? I wanna learn since i do feel like there are more ways but idk what is it

#8

Thank you. That’s what I needed

#9

What kind of level of a scripter are you so I can help you understand a new method of optimization.

#10

idk but does it really matter, just teach lol

#11

Well some methods are for more advanced scripters who have learnt, you need to learn at your skill level or it won’t make sense…

#12

well i have been learning for about a year

#13

So you’re starting to learn intermediate scripting?
