How do I make something happen when a certain random number is generated?

Asked 90 views1 answers

I'm trying to make a script to where when a certain number is randomly generated it spawns a zombie. I hope someone could help me out!

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	
	local ServStoarge = game:GetService('ServerStorage')
	local Zombie = ServStoarge.Zombie
	
	local Spawner = game.Workspace.Spawner
	
	
	while true do
		
		print(math.random(1, 5))
		
		if math.random == 1 then
			
			Zombie:Clone()
			
			Zombie.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.Spawner.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
			
		end
			
	end
end)

The problem is the random number you generated with math.random(1,5) is not stored anywhere, it is just printed.

You tried using if math.random == 1 but the random number you generated before was not stored.

Instead, you can check it in the if statement:

    if math.random(1,5) == 1 then

            Zombie:Clone()

            Zombie.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.Spawner.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)

        end

If any errors appear or it doesn't work, let me know.
