Choosing a player?
Hello. I tried to pick an "alien" from a table of players. It's not working. The error says:
1 | 18:43:22.097 - ServerScriptService.GameScript:15: bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty) |
This is my code:
01 | local playerstorage = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local players = {} |
03 |
04 | while true do |
05 |
06 | for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
07 | if player and player.Character then |
08 | local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |
09 | if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then |
10 | table.insert(players, player) |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | local alien = players[math.random(1, #players)] |
16 |
17 | wait(0.1) |
18 | end |

That just means that the 2nd argument in the math.random function is smaller than the 1st argument. Basically, the script is running when there are no players in the game.
To fix this, simply add a conditional that checks to see if the game has at least 2 players, to prevent errors, like so:
01 | local playerstorage = game:GetService("Players") |
02 | local players = {} |
03 |
04 | while true do |
05 | for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
06 | if player and player.Character then |
07 | local humanoid = player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |
08 | if humanoid and humanoid.Health > 0 then |
09 | table.insert(players, player) |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | end |
13 | if #players >= 2 then |
14 | local alien = players[math.random(1, #players)] |
15 | --More code |
16 | end |
17 | wait(0.1) |
18 | end |
Hope this helped!
