Why does the script not switch between the two options?

Hey RealRexTeam,

If you want to use a different string you're going to need to make a table of strings and then select one from the table randomly. Like this:

local strings = {"Whatever", "Ok, man..."}

local string = strings[math.random(#strings)];

print(string);

The reason yours doesn't work is because the or operator is like a ternary operator in which if the first option doesn't work it goes for the second one, it's useful for :FindFirstChild(), so if it couldn't find the first object, it would go for the second one.

###Well, I hope i helped and have a nice day.

Just put the string as the text. Text = string;
