How can I pick a random color out of a table?
This is what I have
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Network.Server.RemoteEvent
math.randomseed(tick())
local Colors = {"Red","White","Black"}
local Choosen = Colors[math.random(1,#Colors)]
local a = BrickColor[Choosen]
But when I print it it comes out with "fucntion: 40A239F0"
This is the new one, but prints the same value each time.
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.Network.Server.RemoteEvent
local Colors = {"Really red","White","Black"};
local Choosen = Colors[math.random(1,#Colors)]
local a = BrickColor.new(Choosen)
print(Choosen)

You have to use the BrickColor.new constructor. And remember, you call functions with parenthasis ().
local Colors = {"Red","White","Black"};
local Choosen = Colors[math.random(1,#Colors)]
local a = BrickColor.new(Choosen)

"Red" isn't a BrickColor. Try "Really red". Goulstem 8144 — 7y

If it's always choosing the same result, you should try setting a new random seed. ScriptGuider 5640 — 7y

When I use random Seed such as "math.randomseed(tick()%1*1e6)" a error occurs SilentGalaxZy 53 — 7y

It shouldn't. There's probably some syntax error you're unaware of. Look for red underlines in your script, and analyze the error message telling you what's wrong. ScriptGuider 5640 — 7y

You didn't add the randomseed call to the revised version. Call it on the first line of your code in the revised version Goulstem provided. ScriptGuider 5640 — 7y

It works now, I guess it was just where I had it placed in the script. Anyway, thank you so much for you help. SilentGalaxZy 53 — 7y
