Is there a way to make math.random more random?
So I have a script when you click a text button, it changes color randomly. But when I need more colors when I click it because when I do click it gives me 8 different colors.
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso:WaitForChild("BillboardGui")
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
script.Parent.TextColor3 = Color3.new(math.random(0,1),math.random(0,1),math.random(0,1))
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = script.Parent.TextColor3
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Torso.BillboardGui.TextLabel.TextColor3 = script.Parent.TextColor3
end)
Is there a way to make it choose more random?

With two arguments, math.random will only return integers between the first and second.
So, math.random(0, 1) will only give you either 0 or 1.
If you want a random real number between 0 and 1, you would use math.random() with no arguments. (Note that this includes 0 but does not include 1)
Color3.new( math.random(), math.random(), math.random() )
Note: This isn't "more random." It is just as random, it just has more possible values.
You should probably use variables for the local player and their character. That will shorten the script significantly:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
-- neat trick for getting the player's character
local bill = character:WaitForChild("Torso"):WaitForChild("BillboardGui")
-- Don't just wait, save it to a variable! Saves
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
script.Parent.TextColor3 =
Color3.new(math.random(), math.random(), math.random())
character.Torso.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.TextColor3 =
script.Parent.TextColor3
bill.TextLabel.TextColor3 = script.Parent.TextColor3
end)
