Is there a way to call a random function from a table? (ModuleScript)

[Xzx3l]

So, I have a Module Script with a bunch of functions in it and what I want to do is calling a random function from this module

Module script:

local events = {}

events.GrowPlate = function(plate:BasePart)
	
	print("Growing plate")
	
end
events.ShrinkPlate = function(plate:BasePart)
	
	print("Shrinking plate")
	
end

return events

What I want to do is a while loop calling a random function from this table each time it loops

local ServerScriptService = game:GetService("ServerScriptService")

local Events = require(ServerScriptService.Modules.Events)

while wait(1) do
	
	--I need to call the random function here
	
end

I have tried to do math random but it definitely wouldnt work. Even if its not a Module Script I dont think it would work at all

while wait(1) do
	
	Events[math.random(#Events)]
	
end

This is the only solution I have tried so far, as I can’t think of any other way to do it, if anyone knows how I can do it I would appreciate any help.

Try replacing

while wait(1) do
	
	Events[math.random(#Events)]
	
end

With

while wait(1) do
	
	Events[math.random(1, #Events)]
	
end

Also, remember that wait is deprecated and task.wait is the correct syntax now!

It still not works, since I cant get the length of a dictionary

It would probably be a more complex way of doing it than this, so I don’t think this would work nonetheless.

Yea, im aware. Im simply on a phone rn so I dont rlly have time to do that stuff lol

While you can’t get the length of a dictionary, you can get the values of that dictionary. Try to fetch the functions of the module script into a different array, then loop that array instead. This may comes with some fallbacks, but this should be a way to iterate a dictionary’s values.

Just found a source on what your trying to do im pretty sure!

Is there a way to randomly choose and run a function in a ModuleScript?

I’m currently making a tile game, and I want random things to happen to the tiles. I have a central script in ServerScriptService which controls the events in my game. There’s a module script inside of it called ‘Functions’ which houses all the random events I want to run. [Screen Shot 2021-04-13 at 7.50.30 PM] My question is, is there a way to randomly select and run functions that are in that module script? GameManager: local functions = require(script.Functions) while true do -- I wa…

Thats exactly what I wanted to do, thanks!
