Trying to increase random number each time

[targetframed (target)]

so i’m trying to make my random number add each time to the z coordinate of my newAttachment’s cframe. i read up posts about it but i don’t know how to adapt it for my scenario. i appreciate the help ty!!

Part with a number that increases

I am pretty sure you are talking about a text label going up. local number = 1 local detector = where the click detector is local textlabel = where the text label is detector.Parent = script.Parent detector.Clicked:Connect(function() number = number + 1 textlabel.Text = number end) Also, remember to search before posting and learn the basics of scripting instead of asking for help on a script that you have not started.

local function spawnAttachments()

	wait(1)

	for attachmentVariable = 1, 10 do
		local random = Random.new()
		local randomNumber = random:NextNumber(lastnumber,b1b2Distance / 10) -- generate random number between (1 and 2.4 ish)
		randomNumber += randomNumber

		local newAttachment:Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment", b1)
		newAttachment.Name = "attachment"..attachmentVariable
		newAttachment.CFrame = b1a.CFrame + b1a.CFrame.LookVector * Vector3.new(0,0,lastnumber) -- i want "lastnumber" to increase by the new random number everytime
		beam.Attachment0 = newAttachment
		beam.Enabled = true
		print(attachmentVariable..": "..randomNumber)
		wait(.1)
		beam.Enabled = false
	end
end

What are b1 and b1a? Would be nice if you tell me what those are so so could help you better. Meanwhile try this

local function spawnAttachments()

	wait(1)

	for attachmentVariable = 1, 10 do
		local random = Random.new()
		local randomNumber = random:NextNumber(lastnumber,b1b2Distance / 10) -- generate random number between (1 and 2.4 ish)
		lastnumber += randomNumber

		local newAttachment:Attachment = Instance.new("Attachment", b1)
		newAttachment.Name = "attachment"..attachmentVariable
		newAttachment.CFrame = b1a.CFrame + (b1a.CFrame.LookVector * lastnumber)
		beam.Attachment0 = newAttachment
		beam.Enabled = true
		print(attachmentVariable..": "..randomNumber)
		wait(.1)
		beam.Enabled = false
	end
end

You gotta increment the last number with the random number and multiply last number by the look vector

You could set the current random number and the next random number. You would need to make the next random number the current random number each time it runs and just make it look something like this.

While true do
Local CurrentRandomNumber = value
Local NextRandomNumber = math.random(0,50)

CurrentRandomNumber = CurrentRandomNumber + NextRandomNumber

wait(1)
end

i decided to scrap what i posted and i started simple instead of jumping the gun. i used some of your code combined with what @baadtiger said and i got it to work how i wanted it to. thanks a million mate, apologies for not posting the rest of the script i completely forgot!!

solution:

local lastnumber = 0

local function randomNumber()

	for i = 1,10 do
		local random = Random.new()
		local randomNumber = random:NextNumber(1, 2.4)

		lastnumber += randomNumber
		print(i..": "..lastnumber)
		wait(.25)
	end

end

randomNumber()

It’s ok, learning experience for all of us in the end
