How do you find a part using math.random?
I'm trying to find a certain block out of 3 blocks, using math.random
1 | local FolderForParts = game.Workspace.Folder |
2 | local PartNumber = math.random(1,3) -- 3 Blocks in folder |
3 | local Part = --Finds the part |
The part names (just keeping it simple): Part1 Part2 Part3

You need to get the number of the part
1 | local FolderForParts = game.Workspace.Folder |
2 | local PartNumber = math.random(1,#FolderForParts:GetChildren()) |
3 | local Part = FolderForParts:WaitForChild("Part".. tostring(partNumber)) |
This script transforms the selected number into a string and gets the selected part in the folder. P.S: With this script you can put as many parts as you want as long as they are numbered

I think this is what you want.
1 | local FolderForParts = game.Workspace.Folder:GetChildren() -- make a table of parts |
2 | local PartNumber = math.random(1,#FolderForParts) -- 1 through length of table |
3 | local Part = FolderForParts[PartNumber] -- reference chosen part |
4 |
5 | print(Part.Name) |

or FolderForParts:FindFirstChild('Folder' .. tostring(PartNumber)) if you want the naming and number to be consistent User#26471 0 — 6y

Also a fine way to go about it, but lets keep it simple if hes unsure how to do it in the first place! DinozCreates 1070 — 6y
