math.random(0.5, 1) only returning 0 and 1? [SOLVED]
So I have a math.random variable and it should print values between 0.5, 0.6, etc. but it only prints 0 and 1. Here's my code:
1 | local size = math.random(0.5, 1) |
2 | print(size) |
Edit: I figured it out. So apparently, math.random rounds numbers. So I just did math.random(5, 10) / 10, and that worked.

math.random only returns integers, if you want to have decimals then I suggest:
1 | local random = Random.new() |
2 | local random_integer = random:NextInteger(1, 10) |
3 | local random_number = random:NextNumber(1, 10) |
4 |
5 | print(random_integer) -- without decimals (6) |
6 | print(random_number) -- with decimals (6.1) |

Not all the time. You see, math.random() only return decimals when it is not filled (meaning 0 and 1 are the parameters). It will only return integers if the difference between the two parameters are more than one. T3_MasterGamer 2189 — 2y
