math.random not working at all?

Asked by

I don't know what's wrong with this script.

local Part = game.Workspace.Part
Part.Transparency = 1
while true do
    wait(.5)
    parsttochosefrom = math.random(1,2)
    if parsttochosefrom == 1 then
        Part.Transparency = 1
        end
    if parsttochosefrom == 2 then
        Part.Transpacency = .5
    end

on line 10, you spelled "transparency" wrong. Also, try using an elseif statement like this:

local Part = game.Workspace.Part
Part.Transparency = 1
while true do

    wait(.5)

    parsttochosefrom = math.random(1,2)

    if parsttochosefrom == 1 then
        Part.Transparency = 1
    elseif parsttochosefrom == 2 then
        Part.Transparency = .5
    end

end

There are a few solutions that could help you. These are them:

  • On line 12 put another "end" to end the while loop.

  • Throw a math.randomseed(tick()) in there.

  • Do elseif rather than another if

Try this code and see if it works:

local Part = game.Workspace.Part
Part.Transparency = 1

math.randomseed(tick()) -- Makes things more random
while true do
    wait(.5)
    parsttochosefrom = math.random(1,2)
    if parsttochosefrom == 1 then
        Part.Transparency = 1
    elseif parsttochosefrom == 2 then -- An elseif here will make the code more smooth and faster
        Part.Transparency = .5
    end
end -- You forgot this end here

Make line 7 like this: local parsttochosefrom = math.random(1,2). That shouldn't be the problem, but it should work properly either way...I'm sure of the problem zyrun 168 — 6y
