How To Make Random Text Generate Out Of Variables?
Hello i Was Just Wondering How To Make Random Text Appear Out Of Varaibles With Strings I Made For A Death Screen
Text Variables Are Through Line 1 to 7
local textpreset1 = "What Led You Down This Path?"
local textpreset2 = "Way To Go Buddy."
local textpreset3 = "Welp That's NOT A Way To Do It."
local textpreset4 = "Really Bro?"
local textpreset5 = "Forgot To Put On A Vest?"
local textpreset6 = "Do You Like Hurting Other People?"
local textpreset7 = "Good Job. Just Good Job."
-- died
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(function()
script.Parent.Sound:Play()
script.Parent.Frame2.Visible = true
script.Parent.Frame.Visible = true
script.Parent.TextLabel.Visible = true
script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 1
wait(3)
script.Parent.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = (textpreset1 or textpreset2 or textpreset3 or textpreset4 or textpreset5 or textpreset6 or textpreset7)
wait(9)
script.Parent.TextLabel.Text = ""
script.Parent.Frame.Visible = false
script.Parent.Frame2.Visible = false
end)

You should put all your sentences in an array and use math.random To randomize a sentance
local array = {“one”,”two”,”three”}
local sentence = array[math.random(1,#array)]
print(sentence)
Sentence will be one of the strings in the array.
Something you could do is put all of your text options in a table:
local deathMessages = {"What Led You Down This Path?", "Way To Go Buddy.", "Welp That's NOT A Way To Do It.", "Really Bro?", "Forgot To Put On A Vest?", "Do You Like Hurting Other People?", "Good Job. Just Good Job."}
And then run a script that will choose a random message:
local deathMessages = {"What Led You Down This Path?", "Way To Go Buddy.", "Welp That's NOT A Way To Do It.", "Really Bro?", "Forgot To Put On A Vest?", "Do You Like Hurting Other People?", "Good Job. Just Good Job."}
deathMessages[math.random(1,#deathMessages)
Your death detection is incorrect. The gui will not appear in a local script and localPlayer will be nil in a server script. To fix this:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
--Code
end)
end)
end)
Your full script would go in ServerScriptService and would look like this:
local deathMessages = {"What Led You Down This Path?", "Way To Go Buddy.", "Welp That's NOT A Way To Do It.", "Really Bro?", "Forgot To Put On A Vest?", "Do You Like Hurting Other People?", "Good Job. Just Good Job."}
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
local gui = game.ReplicatedStorage.DeathGui:Clone() --Put a ScreenGui in ReplicatedStorage and name it "DeathGui"
gui.Parent = plr.PlayerGui
gui.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 1
wait(3)
gui.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0
gui.TextLabel.Text = deathMessages[math.random(1,#deathMessages)
wait(9)
gui:Destroy()
end)
end)
end)
You'll want to make you gui and then put it in ReplicatedStorage. Whatever you want to be seen, make visible.
I hope this answers your question.
