I'm not sure how to get all the players and randomly pick one to give a tool too.
I've tried for loops with getchildren.
Any ideas?
Firstly, you should know something about indexing tables
. Tables are setup like lists.
local tab = {'a',true,1}
1: 'a'
2: true
3: 1
Index 1
of tab
is 'a'
.
So, tab[1]
is 'a'.
Now, if we apply the math.random
function to indexing the table then it will index it randomly!
local tab = {'a',true,1}
We can get the amount of indexes in tab
with the #
operator. So use #tab
as the second argument in the math.random function.
local random = tab[math.random(1,#tab)]
The GetChildren
function returns a table. So if we use the GetChildren function on game.Players
then we can index it randomely.
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren() local random = plrs[math.random(#plrs)]
Just clone a tool into their Backpack(:
local tool --Define the tool tool:Clone().Parent = random.Backpack
Few things you'll need to know for this,:GetPlayers()
is a method of the Players service that gets all the players and returns a table. math.random(startingValue, endingvalue)
finds an Int between the two values. Startingvalue has to be smaller than endingvalue.
If we want to pick a random player you'll need:
1) Table of all the players
2) A random number
First we need to get the table of players using the :GetPlayers()
method.
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
Now we need a random int between 1 and the amount of players in the table
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() local randomInt = math.random(1, #players)
That will find a whole number (int) between 1 and the number of values in the table
Now to get the player from the table using the random int we generated
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() local randomInt = math.random(1, #players) local randomPlayer = players[randomInt]
Hope this helped!
Use math.random
First off you need to get all players
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
Then define a player
random = math.random(1, #players)
And then just use
print(random.Name)
Of course this doesn't answer your question fully, atleast try to show what you have made so we can help you :)
You could try it like you know how the admin command works like ':give random sword' Maybe you can try to do something like that. But don't use it as an admin command.
