[FIXED BY ME] I made a script for a randomly generated sign, not switching text. Why?

So, I'm making a sign that every 1 minutes (I know, my script says 10 seconds, that's just for making testing easier) It will change text. The first time the script runs, it randomly picks a line of text, Which works. But the second time it runs, it prints the randomly generated number correctly but the text on the sign does not change. Heres my code.

local text = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel

local number = math.random(3)
i = 10

while i == 10 do
	if number == 3 then
		text.Text = "Now turn back :)"
		wait(10)
		text.Text = ""
		local number = math.random(3)
		print(number)
	end

	if number == 2 then
		text.Text = "What are you gonna do now?"
		wait(10)
		text.Text = ""
		local number = math.random(3)
		print(number)
	end

	if number == 1 then
		text.Text = "There's nothing here. Lol."
		wait(10)
		text.Text = ""
		local number = math.random(3)
		print(number)
	end
end

Thank you for helping :)

Not gonna lie, I did a dumb. If anyone is curious, on the lines where I 'Redifined" number I typed 'local' before, like this

local number = math.random(3)

this was creating a new variable, I had to remove the local to fix the script, so now the script looks like this

local text = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.TextLabel

local number = math.random(3)
i = 10

while i == 10 do
	if number == 3 then
		text.Text = "Now turn back :)"
		wait(10)
		text.Text = ""
		number = math.random(3)
		print(number)
	end

	if number == 2 then
		text.Text = "What are you gonna do now?"
		wait(10)
		text.Text = ""
		number = math.random(3)
		print(number)
	end

	if number == 1 then
		text.Text = "There's nothing here. Lol."
		wait(10)
		text.Text = ""
		number = math.random(3)
		print(number)
	end
end

Howdy!

Your number value isn't changing as it's predefined outside of the loop. If you move the variable inside the loop, it'll continuously reroll the number at random. You also won't need the number reroll inside the three functions.
