How to use math.random correctly?

Asked by

I want 1 person to go to the "Deep blue" team while everyone else goes to the "Bright red" team, and then I want them all to respawn simultaneously.

I don't know how to do this.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

This is just an idea on how you could do it. You need to be able to use a for loop to go through the players and assign teams and such. You can add a way to respawn after the if statement if you would like.

view source
01repeat wait() until game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2 -- wait until a random number can be made, you could change this if you like to a certain number or a different way to wait
02print("Players are in the game") -- I like to have prints to know where the script errors
03 
04 
05local BlueTeam = math.random(1,game.Players.NumPlayers) -- chooses which player will be on the blue team
06print(BlueTeam) -- print the number generated
07 
08 
09wait(1)
10for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do -- going through all of the players
11    if i == BlueTeam then -- if the index of the player matches the number chosen for blue team
12        print(v.Name) -- you can change this to changing their team
13    else
14        print("Red team: "..v.Name) -- you can change this to changing their team
15    end
16end

The math.random command is basically a way to get a "random" number between the first and second parameter. In other words, if I did math.random(1,100), I would get a random number between 1 and 100. If you make it without anything inside of the parenthesis, it will choose a random number between 0 and 1.
