Asked 187 views1 answers
local Ran = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5}

local r = Ran[(math.random(1, 15))]

Shot1.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)-- CFrame Coordinates thingy
Shot2.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot3.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot4.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot5.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot6.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot7.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot8.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot9.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot10.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot11.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot12.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot13.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)
Shot14.CFrame = Player.Character.Torso.CFrame*CFrame.new(r, r, r)

This should randomly select a number from the table called Ran and insert it in the CFrame Coordinates thingy. But its not working and I dont know why.

Please provide any output that is given and end the loop where you want it to.

You have an extra set of parentheses on line 3. Try removing them.

You have already defined "r" on line 3, this means that "r" will always be the same value. If you want a new value for each of these then you will need to replace all of the r's in the CFrame.new() sections to r() and make a new function that does this

local function r()
	return math.random(-5, 9) -- Returns a random number from -5 to 9
end

There was no need to write up a table of numbers for this. But incase in the future you may want to return something different, specific values, then here, you can use this

local function r()
	return Ran[math.random(#Ran)] -- No need to write (1, 15) because #Ran will give you the number 
end

Do not forget line 3, extra paranthesis.
