Trying to assign player name to seat and plate

[targetframed (target)]

hello! i have a table with chairs and plates 1-20. when the player joins, a player will be sat in a seat and their name will be stored in the seat’s and plate’s attributes. storing the name in the seat works but not for the plate. i tried something but it didnt work. ty!

eg:
if a player joins and gets seat 1, their name will be stored in seat 1 and in plate 1.

script:

function startGameModule.startGameFunction()

	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
		wait(3)
		local c = p.Character
		local seatOFFSET=CFrame.new(0,2,0)

		local seatFolder = workspace.tableModel.seatFolder
		local plateFolder = workspace.tableModel.plateFolder
		local hum:Humanoid = c.Humanoid
		randomSeat = seatFolder:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #seatFolder:GetChildren())]
		randomPlate = plateFolder:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #plateFolder:GetChildren())]

		if randomSeat:GetAttribute("occupied") == false then
			c:PivotTo(randomSeat.CFrame* seatOFFSET) 
			wait()
			randomSeat:Sit(hum)
			if randomSeat.Occupant then
				randomSeat:SetAttribute("occupied", true)
				randomSeat:SetAttribute("playerName", randomSeat.Occupant.Parent.Name)
				randomPlate:SetAttribute("playerName", randomSeat.Occupant.Parent.Name)
				print(randomSeat.Name)
				print(randomPlate.Name)

	
			end
		end	
	end)
end

It’s because you’re using a new random number for the plate and the chair. You have to store a random number variable and then use it for both

Store math.random results in a table and make them not repeat

Hi! I was trying to make a tips TextLabel for my Loading Screen. I don’t want the tips repeating, so I’m trying to make the math.random result store in a table and when the script tries to generate another number it checks if that number is in the table, and if it is it generates another until the number it generates is not in the table. I even tried to fix it by looking at other threads here, but I couldn’t make it work… Here is the code: local tipLabel = script.Parent local t…

local randomSeat:Seat = nil
local randomPlate = nil
local randomNo = Random.new():NextInteger(1, 20)


function startGameModule.startGameFunction()

	game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(p)
		wait(3)
		local c = p.Character
		local seatOFFSET=CFrame.new(0,2,0)

		local seatFolder = workspace.tableModel.seatFolder
		local plateFolder = workspace.tableModel.plateFolder
		local hum:Humanoid = c.Humanoid
		randomSeat = seatFolder:GetChildren()[randomNo]
		randomPlate = plateFolder:GetChildren()[randomNo]

		if randomSeat:GetAttribute("occupied") == false then
			c:PivotTo(randomSeat.CFrame* seatOFFSET) 
			wait()
			randomSeat:Sit(hum)
			if randomSeat.Occupant then
				randomSeat:SetAttribute("occupied", true)
				randomSeat:SetAttribute("playerName", randomSeat.Occupant.Parent.Name)
				randomPlate:SetAttribute("playerName", randomSeat.Occupant.Parent.Name)
				print(randomSeat.Name)
				print(randomPlate.Name)

	
			end
		end	
	end)
end
