Im making a Sort Of dream Game, you walk up to a bed, you press the Proximity Prompt and it will choose a random number, the number goes directly into an If Statement which should teleport you to the Dream, (The Dream will be in the same game), Couldn’t figure it out.

can you share your code? what part can’t you figure out?

Sure


DreamId = 0

--Sleeping

script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	DreamId = DreamId + math.random( -1, 1)
end)

-- Dreams

if DreamId == -1 then
	
end

if DreamId == 1 then	
	
end

if DreamId == 0 then	
	
end

might wanma make a table with all dream place id’s then when the promt is triggerd you select a random one and teleport to it

select a random one by doing

local targetDreamId = tableWitIds[math.random(1, #tableWithIds)]

#5

is there a way i can implement this into Dictionaries?

#6

Something like this would work

local dreams = {}
dreams["Cool"] = "A"
dreams["Sad"] = Vector3.new(0,1000,0)
dreams["Happy"] = {
	A=5,
	B=6,
}
--etc

local ordered = {}
for name,_ in pairs(dreams) do
	table.insert(ordered,name)
end



script.Parent.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function()
	local dreamName = ordered[math.random(1,#ordered)] 
	local dreamInfo = dreams[dreamName]
end)

yeah just make a loop in a loop, and keep doing that til ur at the end of the dictionary.

for instance:

---- this dictionary is to group the dreams in themes. to later on set the weights of themes
local dreams = {
nightmares = {
weight = 2  --- the weigth is set to make certain dreams this section appear more then others.,
ids = {
--- place ids of all your nightmares here.
}
},
dreams = {
weight = 5, --- the weigth is set to make certain dreams in this section appear more then others.
ids = {
--- place ids of all your dreams here.
}
}
}

local dreamTable = {}

for _,dream_theme in pairs (dreams) do
--- the amount of the weigth we add a reference of the theme, this way there is a amount of weight chance to get it.
--- insert the whole dictionary item to make sure its a reference and not a copy.
for i = 1, dream_theme['weight'] do
table.insert(dreamTable, dream_theme)
end
end

--- gets u a dream from the theme you give in the parameters
local function getRandomDreamFromTheme (theme) --- theme should be a theme from the dictionary dreams 
local selected_dream = theme['ids'][math.random(1, #dream_theme['ids'])]
--- the selected_dream will be your target place ID.
end

--- gets u a dream from any theme
local function getRandomDream ()  
local dream_theme = dreamTable[math.random(1, #dreamTable)] --- get a dream theme
local selected_dream = dream_theme['ids'][math.random(1, #dream_theme['ids'])]
--- the selected_dream will be your target place ID.
end

I have not tested it. please let me know if you have any errors
