Breaking down the error:
- bad argument #2: The second value you gave to a function was "bad" (didn't make sense)
- to 'random': The function that was given a bad value was
math.random - (interval is empty): This is a hint explaining why the value was bad.
The 2-parameter use of math.random is math.random(low, high).
If high is less than low, then the interval [low, high] (in math notation) is empty -- there is no number at least low and less than high.
A frequent cause of this error is code that looks like this:
list = {}
print( math.random(1, #list) )
This is a problem, since #list is 0 and 0 is less than 1.
Usually, it's not so obvious -- more likely, you're using :GetPlayers() or :GetChildren() when there are none.
