So me and my friend are making a helicopter game and we want to make only one random helicopter to chase the player when we play the game.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
math.random(Spawner1, Spawner2, Spawner3)
script.Parent.Spawner1.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
script.Parent.Spawner2.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = true
script.Parent.Spawner3.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = true
end)
You're doing the math.Random wrong.
You can only do math.random with numbers, try this:
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(
function(plr)
local random = math.random(1, 3)
if random == 1 then
script.Parent.Spawner1.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
elseif random == 2 then
script.Parent.Spawner2.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
elseif random == 3 then
script.Parent.Spawner3.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
end
end
)
Another way you could do this is getting a random string from a table and getting a random string from it using math.random. Here's the code:
local table = {"Spawner1", "Spawner2", "Spawner3"
local random = math.random(1, #table) -- random string from table
if random then
script.Parent:FindFirstChild(random).Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
end
or you know script.Parent["Spawner"..math.random(3)].Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled which is just one line and use Connect instead of connect and game.Players should be a service
all of the helicopters chase after you, thanks for trying to help.
So first, we need to get a random number:
local randomNum = math.random(1,3)
Note that Roblox random numbers are not that random, so you might have the same number multiple times.
Now we need to disable every script to only pick one:
script.Parent.Spawner1.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = true
script.Parent.Spawner2.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = true
script.Parent.Spawner3.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = true
Now we'll add if statements and depending on the number chosen, we will activate a script:
if randomNum == 1 then
script.Parent.Spawner1.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
elseif randomNum == 2 then
script.Parent.Spawner2.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
else
script.Parent.Spawner3.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript.Disabled = false
end
--I put an else because if the number is not 1 or 2 then it has to be 3
Replace the code inside the PlayerAdded with this code.
Hope this helped!
Use a table with math.random.
local possibleScripts = {
script.Parent.Spawner1.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript,
script.Parent.Spawner2.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript,
script.Parent.Spawner1.Station.heli.Fighter.ChaseScript,
}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local rand = possibleScripts[math.random(1, #possibleScripts)] -- choose a random
rand.Disabled = true
for _, scr in pairs(possibleScripts) do
if scr ~= rand then
scr.Disabled = true
end
end
end)
Be Careful, your script will disable all other Helicopters and enable those. Just a warning.. If this helps, please mark me as a soloution!
