Why is math.random not choosing random places out of table?
Making a random place teleporter but each time I rejoin the game I get placed into the same place..
01 | 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"} |
02 | local TeleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService") |
03 |
04 | print("The database has: "..#Places.." places available. :)") |
05 |
06 | math.randomseed(tick()) |
07 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player) |
08 | if player then |
09 | local randomId = Places[math.random(1, #Places)] |
10 |
11 | print(randomId) |
12 |
13 | TeleportService:Teleport(randomId, player) |
14 |
15 | print('Bye have a great time!') |
16 | end |
17 | end) |

your script works perfectly fine, just change :connect() to :Connect() PyccknnXakep 1225 — 7y

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 :
1 | math.randomseed(tick()) |
2 | for _ = 1, 10 do |
3 | --put your teleport stuff here |
4 | end |
If I didn't explain it well enough, look at this wiki page for more information on random numbers.
