How do I make a math.random generator BUT with words?
Please provide more explanation in your question. If you explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it will be much easier to answer your question correctly.
For example, instead of having lets say 1,5 it would be: hello,(or) goodbye
Okay so im trying to make this script print out words just like math.random prints out numbers, I know how to do math rand b ut not with words
Here is my math.random
01 | while true do |
02 |
03 |
04 | wait(0.8) |
05 |
06 | local variable1 = math.random(1,4) |
07 | local variable2 = math.random(5,10) |
08 |
09 |
10 | print(variable1, variable2) |
11 |
12 |
13 | end |
Any help appreciated

ANSWER: You will still need a random number, and you will use that random number to get a random index from an Array of words.
Example:
01 | local wordList = { |
02 | "Hello", |
03 | "Goodbye", |
04 | "Yes", |
05 | "No", |
06 | "What is going on here?" |
07 | } |
08 |
09 | function randomWord() |
10 | return wordList[math.random(#wordList)] |
11 | end |
12 |
13 | print(randomWord()) |
14 | print(randomWord()) |
15 | print(randomWord()) |

You mean math.random(1,#wordlist) . You forgot the start number. PrismaticFruits 842 — 4y

Nope! You don't need to put the start number. Roger111 347 — 4y

When you call math.random() with one parameter, it will immediately get a number within that range. Nickuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 834 — 4y

??? if you call math.random() with 1 arg, then it will return a number in the range of [1,arg] see https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/math VerdommeMan 1479 — 4y
