Problem with math.random Player Choosing. Anyone to help?
Hello!
This is my script as of now:
local randomPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayers()
[math.random(1,#game.Players:GetPlayers())]
randomPlayer.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue")
However, when I run the game, an following error appears:
17:57:25.323 - Workspace.ao oni chooser:2: bad argument #2 to 'random' (interval is empty)
Can anyone please help? Thanks!

Why do you have [] (Square Brackets) in line 2? Zafirua 1348 — 6y

It's the index of the table returned by GetPlayers(). Rheines 661 — 6y

Your error happens because the second argument in
[math.random(1,#game.Players:GetPlayers())]
can equate to zero when the script runs first before any player gets in the game, making Players:GetPlayers() return a table of length zero.
You will get the same error with
math.random(1,0)
To circumvent this error, I recommend that that portion of the script to be run only when after a player is added into the player service.

I did that, but now the script acts like it doesn't exist. Nothing in output, nothing happens. radzik9988 -7 — 6y
