How Do I Use Math.Random To Change A Parts Position?
Hi so I am a starter scripter and im trying to figure out how can you change the position of a part using math.random so basically I have a spawn and I want the position to be randomized for where the players spawn.

Well this all depends on how random you wish to have it.
Do you want it randomized on a set of coordinates? If so then you want:
1 | local randomCoordinates = {{5, 2, 5}, {0, 0, 0}, {242, 242, 2525}, {242,4242, 242}} |
2 | -- update this table to your desired coordinates |
3 |
4 | local Part = Instance.new('Part') |
5 | local randomCoordinate = randomCoordinates[math.random(1,#randomCoordinates]) |
6 | local X, Y, Z = randomCoordinate[1], randomCoordinate[2], randomCoordinate[3] |
7 | Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(X, Y, Z) |
8 | Part.Parent = workspace |
Do you want it constantly random regardless of where it spawns?
1 | local Part = Instance.new('Part') |
2 | local X, Y, Z = math.random(1,math.huge), math.random(1,math.huge), math.random(1,math.huge) |
3 | Part.CFrame = CFrame.new(X, Y, Z) |
4 | Part.Parent = workspace |

Tip: You can use math.randomseed() or Random.new() to make it more accurately random. T3_MasterGamer 2189 — 2y

And also, math.random(1, math.huge) will return an error because math.huge is just a concept, not a real number. T3_MasterGamer 2189 — 2y

Maybe something like this would work??
1 | local Spawn = script.Parent--wherever this part is |
2 | Spawn.CFrame.X = math.random |
This may not work I wasn't able to test it out in studio also this is just a guess to get it to work. Hope this helps!!
