Kinda new to using tables but how would i remove a random part from it

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

i’m just kinda new to using tables and need some help

–Here’s The Script

		for _, part in pairs(Build1:GetChildren()) do
			part.Anchored = true
			PartStoreTable[#PartStoreTable+1] = part
			local randomPart = PartStoreTable[math.random(#PartStoreTable)]
			table.remove(?)
		end

The question mark is just a placeholder for what i should put there.

2 
PartStoreTable[math.random(#PartStoreTable)] = nil

or

table.remove(PartStoreTable, table.find(PartStoreTable, PartStoreTable[math.random(#PartStoreTable)))
3

The table.remove function takes two parameters: the table to be affected, and the index to remove.

local randomIndex = math.random(1, #PartStoreTable)
table.remove(PartStoreTable, randomIndex)

i got one more question, how would i get it to collect all children of Build1 in the table without repeating numbers / repeating itself.

5 
local childrenTable = {}

for _, child in pairs(Build1:GetChildren()) do
	table.insert(childrenTable, child)
end

This would add all children of Build1 to the childrenTable table. As long as it’s not executed more than once, the childrenTable table should have no duplicates.
