Get a random child with a specific name?
Edit: i added the full script
i've been trying to get this script to select a random child with a specific name like "9mm"
rEvent4.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
if ammo.Value < 15 then
local backpack = plr.Backpack:GetChildren()
local all9mm = {}
for i, v in ipairs(backpack) do
if v.Name == "9mm" then
table.insert(all9mm, v)
end
end
local chosenitem = all9mm[math.random(1, #all9mm)]
print(chosenitem.Name)
end
end)

If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, you could add all children with the name "9mm" to a separate table, then choose a random value from that table
local backpack = plr.Backpack:GetChildren()
local all9mm = {}
for i,v in ipairs(backpack) do
if v.Name == "9mm" then
table.insert(all9mm, v)
end
end
local chosenitem = all9mm[math.random(1, #all9mm)]
print(chosenitem)

make sure the last two lines are outside of the for loop so that they only happen one time OfficerBrah 494 — 3y
