I have five different tiles called, "TileOne", "TileTwo" etc all the way up to five.
I have basically copied and pasted these all over the place, but in some areas you can clearly see repeating and I want them to be as randomized as possible.
I need help coming up with a script that I can just run in the output that randomizes the tiles.
I would like for every existing tile (one, two, three, four, five) to be completely randomly replaced with the same tile set.
This will take your existing tiles and replace them with a randomly selected replacement tile.
local tileTemplates = {
game.ServerStorage.Tiles.TileOne,
game.ServerStorage.Tiles.TileTwo,
game.ServerStorage.Tiles.TileThree,
game.ServerStorage.Tiles.TileFour,
game.ServerStorage.Tiles.TileFive
}
local rand = Random.new() -- Use the new Random class for better results
local existingTiles = game.Workspace.TileFolder:GetChildren()
for _, tile in pairs(existingTiles) do
local replacementTile =
tileTemplates[rand:NextInteger(1, #tileTemplates)]:Clone()
replacementTile.Parent = game.Workspace.TileFolder
replacementTile.CFrame = tile.CFrame
tile:Destroy()
end
(Hint: You can even copy-paste this into the command bar)
This is EXACTLY what I need thank you very much.
You should use the math.random() function.
The following is an example of how you could do this. The program randomly generates x and z positions for the tiles within a specified boundary.
Just make sure one tile is inside ServerStorage, and is named 'Tile'
NumberOfTiles = 20 -- no. of tiles in total
xsize = 60 --x by z size of the area the tiles can spawn in
zsize = 60
xpos = 0-- x and z position coords of where the area the tiles will spawn in will be
zpos = 0
math.randomseed(tick())
for i = 1,NumberOfTiles do
xrandom = math.random(1, xsize)
zrandom = math.random(1,zsize)
print(xrandom,zrandom)
tile = game.ServerStorage.Tile:Clone()
tile.CFrame = CFrame.new(xrandom+xpos,0.5,zrandom+zpos) -- 0.5 is Y coord height
tile.Parent = workspace
end
NOTE: This program will not stop tiles spawning inside of each other.
Thank you, but what I need is for the existing tiles to be swapped out for a random one. The position should not change at all. It's also using the same tile set I just need the tiles randomized.

Are the tiles all being placed on even ground?
They are all on perfectly even ground at exactly 0.5 on the y axis
