Random name chooser doesn't work as I expected?
What it's supposed to do is select a random name then when the numbervalue in workspace is >= 74 it now changes to hurricane.
tldr/example
Tropical Storm Harvey <= 73. Passes >= 74. Now Hurricane Harvey
The opposite is supposed to occur to
Hurricane Harvey <= 74. Goes below <= 73. Now Tropical Storm Harvey
local name = math.random(18)
nameselected = ""
if name == 1 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Arlene"
nameselected = "Arlene"
end
if name == 2 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Bret"
nameselected = "Bret"
end
if name == 3 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Cindy"
nameselected = "Cindy"
end
if name == 4 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Don"
nameselected = "Don"
end
if name == 5 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Emily"
nameselected = "Emily"
end
if name == 6 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Franklin"
nameselected = "Franklin"
end
if name == 7 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Gert"
nameselected = "Gert"
end
if name == 8 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Harvey"
nameselected = "Harvey"
end
if name == 9 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Irma"
nameselected = "Irma"
end
if name == 10 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Jose"
nameselected = "Jose"
end
if name == 11 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Katia"
nameselected = "Katia"
end
if name == 12 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Lee"
nameselected = "Lee"
end
if name == 13 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Maria"
nameselected = "Maria"
end
if name == 14 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Nate"
nameselected = "Nate"
end
if name == 15 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Ophelia"
nameselected = "Ophelia"
end
if name == 16 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Philippe"
nameselected = "Philippe"
end
if name == 17 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Rina"
nameselected = "Rina"
end
if name == 18 then
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm Katrina"
nameselected = "Katrina"
end
if script.Parent.Parent.Winds.Value >= 74 then
script.Parent.Value = "Hurricane " ..nameselected
end

This looks like this entire script runs once. I would put the part in which you check for the wind's speed in a loop, so it is constantly checking for the speed. Xylophyll 0 — 5y

Hey Logan, here is simplified method. This is example and you need to edit it. Let's see:
local NamesTable= {"Name1", "Name2", "Name3"} -- this is names table. Put here all of your names
local NameCounts = 3 --change here how much names do you put into names table(very important)
while wait(3) do --this cycle retrying every 3 secs
local Number = math.random(1,NameCounts) -- generates random number
for i = 1, #Table do -- searching that name(string) example 1 is Name1. 2 is Name2
if Number == i then
print(Table[i]) -- printing that name
-- other stuff here
end
end
end
P.S sorry for my bad english again :d

It doesn't work sadly though. Also the naming system works by calling it a "tropical storm" if its winds are 73 or below mph and a "hurricane" if its winds are 74 or more mph. The opposite should happen to when it goes below 74 mph called a tropical storm again. LoganboyInCO 150 — 5y

can't NameCounts be #NamesTable? the8bitdude11 358 — 5y

Maybe this?
if script.Parent.Parent.Winds.Changed:Connect()
if script.Parent.Parent.Winds.Value >= 74 then
script.Parent.Value = "Hurricane " ..nameselected
else
script.Parent.Value = "Tropical Storm " ..nameselected
end
end)

Oh ok so question, how were these values created, what kind of script, and what kind of script are we using to change them? Local or server DinozCreates 1070 — 5y
