How do I make the script choose a random number between 1 and 2 when the player is added?
All I want is for when a player is added, and a value inside of them is 0, I want it to pick a random number between 1 and 2 to assign to it, but I cant get it to work.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RandomSkill = math.random(1,2)
function onPlayerAdded(player)
if Player.Levelss.RandomMove.Value == 0 then
Player.Levelss.RandomMove.Value = Player.Levelss.RandomMove.Value + RandomSkill
end
end
Players.PlayerAdded:connect(onPlayerAdded)

This isn't working for a couple of reasons.
First, you call math.random only once, so the "random" value will be the same for each new player. Secondly, you have the player parameter in your event listener function, yet you use Player, the local player. Judging by your usage of LocalPlayer, I'm assuming this is a local script; it would be preferable if you moved it into a server script.
You can solve these issues by moving the call to math.random and using the player parameter instead of the LocalPlayer:
game:GetService('Players').PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if player:WaitForChild('Levelss'):WaitForChild('RandomMove').Value == 0 then
player.Levelss.RandomMove.Value = player.Levelss.RandomMove.Value + math.random(1,2);
end;
end);

Hope this helped.
