Why this math.random value isnt working?
i dont know why this math.value isnt working, i want that when i click, will choose a random number between 1 and 6, but dont work
1 | function onClicked() |
2 | if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.stats.BornZone.Value == "None" then |
3 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.stats.BornZone.Value = math.random(1,2,3,4,5,6) |
4 |
5 | end |
6 |
7 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) |

It's a range, not an inclusive list. math.random(6), or math.random(1,6) both do the same. WoolHat 53 — 7y

Like @WoolHat said, math.random uses two numbers and then chooses one in between, but the math.random generator will always have a certain order unless you use math.randomseed. math.randomseed gives the generator a random 'seed' therefore, the number will always be different.
1 | math.randomseed(tick()) |
2 | function onClicked() |
3 | if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.stats.BornZone.Value == "None" then |
4 | script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.stats.BornZone.Value = math.random(1,6) |
5 | end |
6 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onClicked) |
Hope this helps!

Btw it should be math.randomseed(os.time()) not tick(), other then that good answer plasma_node 343 — 7y
