selecting a round and if round chosen then run THAT game?

Asked 212 views1 answers

Hi I was making a table with the rounds and I came across an error of when i said if the round was equal to the same round that was chosen then it would play that game. But it just kept picking one round. Can you help?

local round = rounds[math.random(1,#rounds)] getfenv()[round]()
    h.Text = "Starting the game..."
    wait(5)
    for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        if player.Character then
            player.Character:MoveTo( gamespawns[math.random(#gamespawns)] )
        end
        wait(1) -- EDIT
    end
	if round == "Teamwork" then
		
	end
	
	if round == "Color Cows" then
		
	end

	if round == "Exploding Cows" then
		
	end
	
	
	if round == "Classic" then
    for time = 300, 1, -1 do
	
	workspace.GameMusic.Sound:Play()
		wait(1)
        h.Text = time .. " seconds left"
        if getWinner() then
		workspace.GameMusic.Sound:Stop()

            break -- ended the game early
        end
    end
end

wasdwasdwafsa i got no idea on what to write here

###quite creative i am###

Tables is a variable of information, and is quite handy.

to index a table, you do:

table[1]--First index

Since you are math.randoming gives a random number between a and b.

You are math.randoming between 1 and the length of round, which is a table. That'll return a random index in round

So that's how we choose a random index!

So, now how to activate that?

What if we use another table?

We can store the functions in a table, with Keys, that'll make this table a dictionary.

local roundFunc = {
Classic = function()
--code
end,
["Colorful Cows"] = function()
--code
end,
["Exploding Cows"] = function()
--code
end
}

Since this is a Dictionary, we won't be able to index the normal way, using intergers.

Instead, we can use Strings to index.

local roundFunc = {
Classic = function()
--code
end,
["Colorful Cows"] = function()
--code
end,
["Exploding Cows"] = function()
--code
end
}
local modes = {"Classic","Colorful Cows", "Exploding Cows"}

local randomMode = modes[math.random(1,#modes)]
roundFunc[randomMode]()--Indexing using a string.

BAM AND THERE YOU GO!
