Question about random variables and tables?
Here is an example script of me trying to make a simple cointoss:
local AllTeams = {"Red Team", "Blue Team", "Orange Team", "Purple Team", "White Team"}
local randomteam1 = AllTeams[math.random(#AllTeams)]
local randomteam2 = AllTeams[math.random(#AllTeams)]
--This is what i wanted to do but you cant do this--
local CoinToss = {randomteam1, randomteam2}
local CoinTossWinner = CoinToss[math.random(#CoinToss)]
--How can I do this??
What this does is picks 2 random teams out of the "All Teams" table and what i wanted it to do after that, was I wanted it to pick a random variable so it could be like a coin toss, sadly i dont know how to do this
Any feedback is helpful, thanks.

local teams = {"Team1", "Team2", "Team3", "Team4", "Team5"}
local randomTeam = teams[math.random(1, #teams)]
local randomTeam2 = teams[math.random(1, #teams)]
if randomTeam ~= randomTeam2 then -- make sure the number isn’t the same
coinToss = {randomTeam, randomTeam2}
local winner = coinToss[math.random(1, #coinToss)]
print(winner) --will print your winner
end
