Random Map changer problem?

Asked by

I'm trying to make a random map chooser and it picks one map but then after it says "changing mapz" the message goes away and the map stays there and I want it to keep changing randomly.

01local ran = math.random(1,5)
02local msg = Instance.new("Message")
03msg.Parent = game.Workspace
04 
05while true do
06if ran == 1 then
07    game.Lighting.field1:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
08    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: City"
09    wait(30)
10    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
11    wait(2)
12    msg:remove()
13    wait(2)
14    game.Workspace.field1:remove()
15elseif ran == 2 then
16    game.Lighting.field2:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
17    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: Original"
18    wait(30)
19    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
20    wait(2)
21    msg:remove()
22    wait(2)
23    game.Workspace.field2:remove()
24elseif ran == 3 then
25    game.Lighting.field3:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
26    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: ClockWork Village"
27    wait(30)
28    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
29    wait(2)
30    msg:remove()
31    wait(2)
32    game.Workspace.field3:remove()
33elseif ran == 4 then
34    game.Lighting.field4:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
35    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: Mario Bros."
36    wait(30)
37    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
38    wait(2)
39    msg:remove()
40    wait(2)
41    game.Workspace.field4:remove()
42elseif ran == 5 then
43    game.Lighting.field5:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
44    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: Mount Doom"
45    wait(30)
46    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
47    wait(2)
48    msg:remove()
49    wait(2)

The variable ranis a random value set at the beginning of the script, meaning it NEVER changes from the first random result. Try putting this within the end of the while loop:

`1`	`ran` `=` `math.random(1,5)`

So do I do

01local ran = math.random(1,5)
02local msg = Instance.new("Message")
03msg.Parent = game.Workspace
04 
05while true do
06if ran == 1 then
07    game.Lighting.field1:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
08    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: City"
09    wait(30)
10    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
11    wait(2)
12    msg:remove()
13    wait(2)
14    game.Workspace.field1:remove()
15elseif ran == 2 then
16    game.Lighting.field2:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
17    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: Original"
18    wait(30)
19    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
20    wait(2)
21    msg:remove()
22    wait(2)
23    game.Workspace.field2:remove()
24elseif ran == 3 then
25    game.Lighting.field3:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
26    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: ClockWork Village"
27    wait(30)
28    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"
29    wait(2)
30    msg:remove()
31    wait(2)
32    game.Workspace.field3:remove()
33elseif ran == 4 then
34    game.Lighting.field4:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
35    game.StarterGui.CurrentMap.TextLabel.Text = "Current Map: Mario Bros."
36    wait(30)
37    msg.Text = "Changing mapz"

CamKiller10 meant the ran variable should be placed right...

1local msg = Instance.new("Message")
2msg.Parent = game.Workspace
3 
4while true do
5local ran = math.random(1,5)                -- Here.
6if ran == 1 then
