--Not the full script
local Players = {}
local Zombies = {}
for i,v in pairs(players:GetPlayers()) do
table.insert(Players,v.Name)
end
table.insert(Zombies ,(Players[math.random(#Players)]))
Depending on how many players there are, a certain amount of players get chosen to be zombies. The problem I am facing is that sometimes the same player gets chosen twice. How would I prevent this?
All you have to do is just remove the player from the table once they're chosen.
local chosenPlayerIndex = math.random(#Players)
table.insert(Zombies, Players[chosenPlayerIndex])
table.remove(Players, chosenPlayerIndex)
thebayou has a working way, otherwise u can make a variable with the last player that got choosen and then a if function that checks if the last player is the same as the one that got choosed before and if it did you just randomize again
Yeah, but the problem with this is that it can sometimes cause lag once enough players are chosen. For example, if it's a huge 50 player server and everybody but one is a zombie, that would require the last person to be chosen randomly which could take very long because if the script chooses any of the other players it'll have to re-choose.
Using my solution would mitigate that problem because there would only be one player to choose from
