I want my Wepon (a Stick) to do RANDOM Damage but its not..Why!?
here is my script for my Stick Wepon
on line 5, isn't it a table of numbers?
on line 18 I thought it would pick a random damage nuber between in the values but its not...
What is wrong
local fired = script.Parent.Remotes.damage
local candmg = script.Parent.CanDamage
local damage = {7,5,6}
-------
fired.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
candmg = true
end)
script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if candmg == true then
candmg = false
local ehum = hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if ehum then
ehum:TakeDamage(damage[math.random()])
print("You Dealed " .. damage.." Damage")
else
print("the Humanoid you ARE looking for is NIL")
candmg = false
end
end
end)

now it look like this but now it wont print that random damage number!
on line 19
local fired = script.Parent.Remotes.damage
local candmg = script.Parent.CanDamage
local damage = math.random(5,7,8)
-------
fired.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
candmg = true
end)
script.Parent.Handle.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if candmg == true then
candmg = false
local ehum = hit and hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if ehum then
ehum:TakeDamage(damage)
print("You Dealed " .. damage .." Damage")
else
print("the Humanoid you ARE looking for is NIL")
candmg = false
end
end
end)

I would recommend using a math.random()
Feks.
damage = math.random(7) --later... ehum:TakeDamage(damage)
Something like that.

You're doing the table wrong and using the math.random() incorrectly.
A table is identified by the computer as "{ }" instead of "( )". The math.random(minimum, maximum) can only contain two parameters. The minimum and maximum values restrict the function from choosing a random value from outside the boundaries.
Here's a way of doing what you want:
local damage = {5, 6, 7} --this is a table
print(damage[math.random(1, 3)]) --chooses one of the following: damage[1] = 5; damage[2] = 6; damage[3] = 7
In the output, the above script will print a random value from 'damage' table.
