What *exactly* do you want? Can you give examples of what's acceptable and what's not acceptable output? What is the range? Should some numbers be preferred over other numbers? BlueTaslem 18071 — 7y

math.random() will return a random decimal between 0-1.
print(math.random()) -- 0.53971289371293
If you want a more specific decimal you can always do something like this:
local x = math.random(10)/10 -- 0.1 - 1 local y = math.random(100)/100 -- 0.01 - 1
If you don't want whole numbers possible:
local x = math.random(0,9)/10 -- 0 - 0.9 x = math.random(0,90)/100 -- 0 - 0.09

You can use (min + 0.5 + math.random() * ( max - min )) to generate a random number with decimals. elijahlorden 6 — 7y
