I'm trying to make a script that picks two random things and then make sure they do not repeat. I currently have:
admin={"parkderp1","random","name"}
for i=2, do
pick=admin[math.random(1,#admin)]
wait(0.01)
print(pick)
end
Thats working i just dont know how to check if they repeat by repeating i mean the output being: parkderp1,parkderp1
A really simple way is to keep re-picking until the choice is not what it was the time before, e.g.,
local previousChoice = nil
local list = {"abc","def", "ghi"}
while true do
wait(1)
local choice
repeat
choice = list[ math.random(1, #list) ]
until choice ~= previousChoice
previousChoice = choice
print(choice)
end
Warning: If there's only one element in the list, this will cause an infinite loop.
