If you’re running this right when the game starts, the player may not have joined when the server gets the number of players in the game. Try waiting for a player to join like this:

local Players = game.Players

if #Players:GetPlayers() < 1 then
	Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
end

local RandomPlayer = Players:GetPlayers()[math.random(#Players:GetPlayers())]
print (RandomPlayer)

math.random should always have 2 number

math.random(1,10)

local Players = game.Players
local RandomPlayer = Players:GetPlayers()[math.random(1,#Players:GetPlayers()]
print (RandomPlayer)

It doesn’t need to though. I thought the same thing awhile ago and it even seemed weird to only do it with one parameter, but you can. If you just pass in a single number you’ll get a random number from 1 to that number.

for i = 1, 5 do
     print(math.random(10))
end

Wait, really? I thought that you must have 2 numbers.
