Playing Random Animations?
I'm trying to make random animations every time someone equips a tool in local script but it's not working, any idea whats wrong with this?
Edit: fixed it, is this good?
local animations = {"127487", "242579", "189476", "247846"}
function test()
animation = Instance.new("Animation", script.Parent.Parent.Parent)
animation.AnimationID = "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id="..animations[math.random.(1, #animations)]"
AT = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
AT:Play()
end
end
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(test)

Your first and most obvious problem is that you left out an end that must close all functions. Function format:
function funcName(parameters)
--code
end
Second, you try to use math.random, but it's inside a string! A string is just a collection of characters -- it doesn't tell the computer do to anything. Therefore, any code you have as a string will not be executed. You also did the link wrong -- there should be no slash after asset. You also have an unneeded dot by math.random.
Correct concatenation:
"www.roblox.com/asset?id="..math.random(1, #animations) --You may need the http in the front. "http://www.roblox.com/asset?id="..math.random(1, #animations)
However, this still won't work. math.random returns a number, so after all the code is read you'll end up with something like,
"http://www.roblox.com/asset?id=2"
which is not what you want. What we need to do is get the value from the table that corresponds with the random number.
animations[math.random(1, #animations)]
