Im trying to make it so it prints a random number from the value given

The math table is readonly. What are you really wanting to do with this?

#4

whoops sorry about that…

#5

You could just create simple function to do this. No need for a fancy meta table

#6

I don’t like attach metatables with lua function (example: math.random, math,rad, math.deg).

As i said im practicing metatables since i think they’re cool.
