Asked 238 views1 answers

so im making a roblox minigame. im making a table but when i try to add 2 items, it tells me its expecting to close in line 13. (which has a random script)

minigames = {"BoulderRun" "Parkour"}
repeat
wait (1)
	CurrentMinigame = math.random(.2958239167056, #minigames)
	if CurrentMinigame == 1 then
		wait (15)
		workspace.Model.a.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.b.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.c.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.d.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.e.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.f.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.g.Transparency = 0 --asking me to put it here.
		workspace.Model.h.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.i.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.j.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.Model1.Boulder1.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.Model2.Boulder2.Transparency = 0
		workspace.Model.Model3.Boulder3.Transparency = 0
		wait (20)
		workspace.Model.a.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.b.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.c.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.d.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.e.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.f.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.g.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.h.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.i.Transparency = 1
		workspace.Model.j.Transparency = 1
	elseif CurrentMinigame == 2 then
		wait (15)
		workspace.Lobby.Orb.Transparency = .5

	end
until 5 == 2

You have to put a comma between each item in a table

TheCJ is correct in that you must use either a comma or semi-colon as a separator in tables (and most people use the comma).

However, I'd like to point a few other things out about this.

Firstly, math.random() with no arguments generates a real number from [0, 1] such as 0.28382238. math.random(m) with one argument generates an integer from [0, m], such as 2 or 5 in math.random(5). Finally, math.random(m, n) with two arguments generates an integer from [m, n], such as 592, 1, or 867 in math.random(1, 10000).

So you're actually calling the function improperly and it will give you an error.

I'd also encourage you to loop into loops for setting the transparency of models, because you seem to be repeating yourself a lot there.

Worth noting that 5 == 2 will never be truthy (I assume you know this), but if you did intentionally write that, you can just use a while true do loop with no need for a repeat until if you'd like.
