"invalid argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty)"

[rankydoodle]

I don’t know how this is happening. any similar posts I found are relating to positions rather than tables.

my code is:

local gamemodes = {
	Bloxers = "Bloxers",
}
local ChosenGamemode = gamemodes[math.random(1, #gamemodes)]

and printing the number of gamemodes outputs 0? and then trying to set it to a specific number just gives me an invalid 1 of gamemodes??? please help

This is because gamemodes is a dictionary here, and not an array.

how would I make it an array? do I just remove the Bloxers = part?

How can I pick a random item from my dictionary

Hey there, so I was wanting to make a color block game just for fun so I could see how it worked, but I ran into a problem. I didn’t know how I could pick out a random item from my dictionary. Basically I have different keys that are the colors and equal a Color rgb value. local RandomColors = { ["Red"] = Color3.fromRGB(255, 0, 0); ["Blue"] = Color3.fromRGB(0, 115, 255); ["Black"] = Color3.fromRGB(0, 0, 0); ["White"] = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255); ["Grey"] = Color3.fromRGB(99, 99, 9…

Here’s a quick answer:

The key you set to the value in the gamemodes table is unnecessary, you can just convert it to an array:

local gamemodes = {
	"Bloxers",
}
