Is there a way to use math.random for mixed numbers?

i wanna know if you can randomized mixed numbers with math.random.
im working a random part color thingy, and wanna have more colors than just primary ones mixed
but the color3.new thingy only allows 0 - 1 in mixed numbers to change color, not 0 - 255

Use Color3.fromRgb, or just generate your RGB values in [0; 1] and use Color3.new that works just as well.

if you want to use numbers up to 255, you use Color3.fromRGB() instead of Color3.new().

otherwise, you use math.random() without any arguments, which will give you a decimal between 0 and 1.

or:

math.random(255)/255

that works good mans, thanks!
char limit

I don’t think it’s possible to use math.random() for directly outputting mixed numbers without using extra operations (*because it only returns Integers), but you could use Random:NextNumber() to generate non-integers on a 0-1 scale by setting its minimum to 0 and maximum to 1.

Example

local randomSeed = Random.new()

local randomTest = randomSeed:NextNumber(0, 1)
-- Generates a decimal number between 0 and 1
print(randomTest)

Edit: Although if you still wanted to use math.random(), then the solutions offered by the other users should work for the use case you described.

Or, what @Forummer just mentioned if you want it to strictly use the preset BrickColor Codes.

#6

Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.Random()

You could just use the built-in random ‘BrickColor’ constructor function.
