How to select random player?

function randomizer() local players = game.Players:GetChildren() local rPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayers() [math.random(1, #players)] wait(5) rPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Really red") end randomizer()

✓ Accepted answer

function randomizer()
	local players = game:GetService(:Players"):GetPlayers()
	print(players[math.random(1, #players)])
end

while wait(1) do
	randomizer()
end

Here is another way, you can obviously change the print to whatever you want! Here is an example what you can do!

function randomizer()
	local players = game:GetService(:Players"):GetPlayers()
	local i = (players[math.random(1, #players)])
	--now the random player is located as i, do whatever you want with it!
	i:Kick("hello!") --example
end

while wait(1) do
	randomizer()
end

Thanks! Is there just a way to keep it from running all the time, like if someone is alreay on the "Really red" brickColor team?

That is entirely up to you, and should be implemented into the basis of your game. Before each round begins you'll need to loop through all the players and choose one randomly to be the murderer.

You should use the Random library instead of math.random, no need to seed and not biased.
