[SOLVED] Another problem about 'random' (interval is empty)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I got an error that said:
Workspace.Trigger.Script:19: invalid argument #1 to ‘random’ (interval is empty) - Server - Script:19

I don’t know what to do at all. I checked other posts but they seem to have a different solution. What should I do in this case?

Code:

local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local ServerStorage = game:GetService('ServerStorage')

local Trigger = script.Parent
local Obby = Trigger.Parent

Trigger.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	-- Check if the player touches it
	local character = part.Parent
	local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
	if not player then return end
	
	-- Disable trigger
	script.Enabled = false
	
	-- Create a new obby
	local ObbyStructure = ServerStorage:WaitForChild('ObbyStructure')
	local Obbies = ObbyStructure:GetChildren()
	local ChosenObby = Obbies[math.random(#Obbies)] -- Heres the problem
	
	local ObbyCount = ServerStorage.Values:FindFirstChild('ObbyCount')
	ObbyCount.Value += 1
	
	local PreviousObby = workspace:FindFirstChild('Obby'..(ObbyCount.Value - 1)) or nil
	local Finish = nil
	if PreviousObby then Finish = PreviousObby:FindFirstChild('Finish') end
	
	ChosenObby.Parent = workspace
	ChosenObby.Name = 'Obby'..ObbyCount.Value
	ChosenObby:PivotTo((Finish or workspace.StartSpawn.Finish).CFrame)
	
	-- Obby to be destroyed
	local ExistingObbies = ServerStorage.Values:FindFirstChild('ExistingObbies')
	local ObbyTBD = workspace:FindFirstChild('Obby'..(ObbyCount.Value - ExistingObbies.Value))
	if ObbyTBD then ObbyTBD:Destroy() end
	
	-- Move and enable trigger
	Trigger.Position = ChosenObby.Checkpoints.Checkpoint.Position + Vector3.new(0, 4.5, 0)
	script.Enabled = true
end)

My goal here is to make an infinitely generating obby, that is. There are 6 models in the ‘ObbyStructure’ folder but somehow it doesnt even know how many

I tried to set math.random to 6 but it doesnt even get an item from the object

#4

That would mean there is nothing in it, as if you only apply a maximum value, the default minimum is 1, so the code would be seeing that the mimimum is 1, but the maximum is 0.

‘Obbies’ is empty. The problem lays in fetching ObbyStructure. Put a temporary obby in workspace and try it on that, see if it works.

#6

Have you tried doing
local ChosenObby = Obbies[math.random(1, #Obbies)]
instead?

#7

it gave the #2 argument, i dont know why

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

#8

theres like 6 models inside the folder, but it perceives it as 0?

#9

ill probably try and put obbystructure in replicatedstorage, as serverstorage is a bit, unpredictable to say the least. but it still fetched obbystructure though because of the waitforchild() thing. but i dont know why it cant fetch anything inside it

#10

For context: The sets of obbies (6) were suddenly deleted for some reason. Why though? I don’t know. Is it my scripts? No, I checked all my scripts they’re free of viruses or something. I checked both the Client and Server and they’re not rendering anything inside of ObbyStructure.

Update: My mistake, I forgot ‘clone’. Shutting down this post
