How can I insert only two items into a table?
I want to insert two random players into a table, and check if they are in the table before they are put in, so that noone is put in the table twice. I have tried making this script, but I have no idea if it works.
if #contestants == 8 or #contestants == 9 or #contestants == 10 then
for _, randomplayers in pairs(2 * math.random(1, #contestants)) do
if randomplayers and randomplayers.Health > 0 then
table.insert(robber, randomplayers)
end
end
Thanks!

In your for loop you are trying to loop through a number? NotsoPenguin 705 — 9y

It is supposed to pick a contestant. I figured out that the loopo above wasn't going to work. SonioSony 53 — 9y

It is best to create a function to see if a value is in the table.
function InTable(tab,val)
for _,n in pairs(tab) do
if n == val then
return true
end
end
end
if contestants == 8 or contestants == 9 or contestants == 10 then
local RandomPlayer = contestants[math.random(1,#contestants)]
if not InTable(robber,RandomPlayer) then
table.insert(robber,RandomPlayer)
end
end

I believe I have solved it! If anyone else is wondering about the same thing, here is the script I made. Not sure if it works yet but I havee my fingers crossed (:
if #contestants == 8 or #contestants == 9 or #contestants == 10 then
local randomplayer1 = contestants[math.random(1, #contestants)]
while true do
local randomplayer2 = contestants[math.random(1, #contestants)]
if randomplayer2 ~= randomplayer1 then
table.insert(robber, randomplayer1, randomplayer2)
break
end
end
