I'm trying to make a script that makes a text say something or say something else, One of the two. I tried doing random but it said it needed a number and not a string.

Can someone help me with that? That would be really helpful for me and I would really appreciate it if you do.

Thanks, MajinBluee

You can't make it say a random sentence out of nothing, you can however write a series of strings and put them in a folder in robloxstudios, ie serverstorage, and then randomly pick one of the stringvalues inside that folder? You can pick random numbers because there are only 10 digits,however, there are nearly an infinite number of sentences and roblox simply doesn't have a bank to store them all oggy521 72 — 6y

Use tables, I'll make a quick example

1local Strings = {'Hello', 'World'}
2 
3local st = Strings[math.random(1, #Strings)]
4print(st)

(This basicly, makes a random number from 1 to the lenght of the table, and then gets the thing out the table with that index)

Another method could be using string.gmatch() iRexBot 147 — 6y

This didn't work for me. Asher0606 36 — 5y
