Random Player Script Won't Work?
I'm making a script that chooses a random Player and makes them DJ, But It won't work! Can someone please help?
I changed it up some more and uses someones solution, But I still get the same result! (Ignore the headphones part,)
local Headphones = game.ServerStorage["DJHeadphones"]
local Set = game.Workspace["DJ Set"]
local DJName = Set.CurrentDJ
local Teleport = Set.Teleport
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
DJName.Value = "Choosing New DJ"
while wait(15) do
local DJHeadphones = Headphones:Clone()
local DJ = Players[math.random(1,#Players)]
DJName.Value = DJ.Name
DJ:MoveTo(Teleport.Position + 0,3,0)
DJHeadphones.Parent = DJ.Character
DJHeadphones.Handle.CFrame = CFrame.new(DJ.Character.Head.Position)
wait(160)
DJHeadphones:Destroy()
DJ:MoveTo(game.Workspace.DanceFloor.Teleport.Position + 0,3,0)
DJName.Value = "Choosing New DJ"
end
Here's the Output. (Still stayed the same! Other than the dates.)
13:18:14.384 - ServerScriptService.DJChooser:11: bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty) 13:18:14.386 - Script 'ServerScriptService.DJChooser', Line 11

local Set = game.Workspace["DJ Set"]
local DJName = Set.CurrentDJ
local Teleport = Set.Teleport
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
DJName.Value = "Choosing New DJ"
while true do
wait(15)
if #Players > 0 then
local DJ = math.random(1,#Players) --You can't find the name of a number
DJ = Players[DJ] --This is how you get the player.
DJName.Value = DJ.Name
DJ.Character:MoveTo(Teleport.Position+Vector3.new(0,3,0))--You must add the numbers when they are in the form of Vector3
wait(160)
DJName.Value = "Choosing New DJ"
end
end
Hope it helps!

The error bad argument #line to 'random' (interval is empty) simply implies that 1 is greater than #Players on line 10.
This is most-likely occurring because your code runs before the first player fully loaded into the game. You could solve this by checking that game.Players.NumPlayers, or #Players are both greater than a certain number.
also, DJ is not an actual reference to the Player, but returns the index at which the "random" player is located, in the table.
table[math.random(1, #table)] -- automatically indexes the returns integer, and therefore returns the value at index automatically
Solution
local Set = game.Workspace["DJ Set"]
local DJName = Set.CurrentDJ
local Teleport = Set.Teleport
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
DJName.Value = "Choosing New DJ"
while wait(15) do
if #Players > 1 then -- only runs if there are more than one player in the server
local DJ = Players[math.random(1,#Players)]
DJName.Value = DJ.Name
DJ:MoveTo(Teleport.Position + 0,3,0)
wait(160)
DJName.Value = "Choosing New DJ"
else -- runs if #Players is not > 1
print('Waiting..')
end
end
