Why is math.random not choosing random places out of table?

Asked 432 views1 answers

Making a random place teleporter but each time I rejoin the game I get placed into the same place..

local Places = {"6597705", "12468179", "339293087","279238899", "10705224","52681367", "195845601", "23243758","8274990", "399059252","195142853", "510444657","372328925", "541548703", "141461667", "662417684", "195845601", "574407221", "414288170", "39972972", "657859644", "23243758", "439998024", "541548703" ,"126945035"}
local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

print("The database has: "..#Places.." places available. :)")

math.randomseed(tick())
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	if player then
		local randomId = Places[math.random(1, #Places)]

		print(randomId)

		TeleportService:Teleport(randomId, player)

		print('Bye have a great time!')
	end
end)

your script works perfectly fine, just change :connect() to :Connect()

math.random isn't truly random. Computers cannot generate random numbers so it will go in the same order every time. Use something like this to make it different each time :

math.randomseed(tick())
for _ = 1, 10 do
--put your teleport stuff here
end

If I didn't explain it well enough, look at this wiki page for more information on random numbers.
