Why doesn't this math.random work in a script but does work in the command line?
Hello, I am encountering an error when I try to run this simple piece of code
randomPlayer = game.Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,#game.Players:GetChildren())] game.ReplicatedStorage.Variables.ChosenPlayer.Value = randomPlayer game.ReplicatedStorage.Variables.ChosenPlayerName.Value = randomPlayer.Name
When I enter this
print(game.Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1,#game.Players:GetChildren())])
in the command line, it works fine.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Filtering is enabled.

Could be because the script runs before any player has connected. RubenKan 3615 — 6y
