Randomly choosing a value from a table and printing it? [Answered]
I'm trying to get my script to choose a random value from a table and then print it, but instead of text, it comes out with something like
table: 1F19D310
local messages = {
"One little piggy went to market",
"One little doggy went to market",
"One little child went to market",
"One little man went to market"
}
local random = messages[math.random(#messages)]
print(random)

This works? User#5423 17 — 7y

What do you mean? This code works the way you've intended it to. It prints out a random from the array. ScriptGuider 5640 — 7y

I've intended it to print the text, not a random sequence. TheHospitalDev 1134 — 7y

You can't local a local. Try this:
print('Test') else print('Test2') else print('Test3') else print('Test4')
I'm not that good at random variables, sorry.
Please don't down my REP ^

How's this going to solve my problem? Not trying to be rude, but I don't really see how it will help. TheHospitalDev 1134 — 7y

local messages = {
"One little piggy went to market",
"One little doggy went to market",
"One little child went to market",
"One little man went to market"
}
local random = math.random(1,#messages) --Forgot to choose from the table, so it would choose #messages instead of in between them
print(messages[random]) --Prints it :3
