Why does this random bool script not work? More details in text below.
I want the right to be true, and the left to be false, or vice versa. All I get is both true, both false or sometimes it works.
game.workspace.r1.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r1.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l1.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r2.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r2.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l2.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r3.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r3.CanCollide ~= false then
game.Workspace.l3.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r4.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r4.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l4.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r5.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r5.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l5.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r6.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r6.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l6.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r7.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r7.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l7.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r8.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r8.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l8.CanCollide = false
end
game.workspace.r9.CanCollide = math.random(1,2) == 1
if game.Workspace.r9.CanCollide ~= true then
game.Workspace.l9.CanCollide = false
end

There is a much more efficient way of completing this task, which also allows for expandability.
Explanations are left in comments inside the code chuck below.
-- initialise a new variable with the amount of parts inside workspace
PARTS_COUNT: number = 9
-- create a for loop
for index = 1, PARTS_COUNT do
-- define the two parts
local PartRight = workspace:WaitForChild('r' + index)
local PartLeft = workspace:WaitForChild('l' + index)
-- check if both parts exists, if not, skip this number
if PartRight == nil or PartLeft == nil then
continue
end
-- randomly generate the bool
-- we use (math.random(1, 2) - 1) because 0 is false, and 1 is true
local Enabled: bool = ((math.random(1, 2) - 1) == 1)
-- set PartRight's collision
PartRight.CanCollide = Enabled
-- call 'not Enabled' to give us the opposite (false will turn into true, and vice versa)
PartLeft.CanCollide = not Enabled
end
