How do I set up a range of numbers?
I would like to make something where I could set up a set of values like
1 | local numbers = {"1", "2",} --etc. |
2 | local pickednumber = numbers[math.random(1, #numbers)] |
But I want to make it so I don't have to list every number to be able to pick from it.
If you have further questions or can help it would be appreciated :)

I don't understand what you want. Do you just want to get a random integer from 1 to n? Can you give a larger example so that it's clear? BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y

Instead of having to write all the numbers I want to choose from, I would like to be able to set up something that I could have, say, a range from 1-100 and I could pick a number from 1-100 randomly jimborimbo 94 — 9y

What You Need To Do
So, you want to randomly select a number, from a range of numbers that you specify?
You're really over-analyzing this, all you have to do is use the math.random function, with the second argument set as your range.
Code
1 | local range = 100 --Define your range |
2 |
3 | local number = math.random(1,range) --Random number between 1 and 'range' |

I'm not quite sure what your main goal is. But if you are looking to pick a random number here. This is on a loop, so fix it accordingly to what you would like it to be. Also note that the wait(1) is optional, so if you want the numbers to load slower, use it.
Code:
01 | local numbers = {"0",} |
02 |
03 | for i = 1, 100 do |
04 | --wait(1) |
05 | table.insert(numbers,(i)) |
06 | end |
07 |
08 | while wait(1) do |
09 | local pickednumber = numbers[math.random(1, #numbers)] |
10 | print(pickednumber) |
11 | end |
Hope this helped!

You could also just use `math.random(1, 100)`.... BlueTaslem 18071 — 9y
