Choosing the Biggest Value?
I have this function that chooses the biggest Value from a set of "NumberValues", but how can I make it so if the two biggest numbers are the same, the script chooses a value from the two randomly?
function Greatest(child)
local number, map = 0, nil
local Vote1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MapVote1")
local Vote2 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MapVote2")
local Vote3 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MapVote3")
for _, v in pairs(child) do
if v:IsA("NumberValue") and v.Value > number then
number = v.Value
map = v
end
end
return number, map
end

It may be a bit tedious but you can put them in a table, set a variable to math.random(1,#tablelength) and have it index the map chosen Mr_Pure 129 — 5y

@Mr_Pure, can you show me an example? You can do it with just plain numbers or anything you feel comfortable with. top500widowxd 23 — 5y

the simplest way I found was to use math.max. basically, it takes a bunch of numbers and finds which is the greatest (so if I did math.max(1,2,3,5,67,7,4,3,6,7,4) it would return "67")
function Greatest(child)
local number, map = 0, nil
local Vote1 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MapVote1")
local Vote2 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MapVote2")
local Vote3 = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("MapVote3")
number = math.max(Vote1,Vote2,Vote3)
for i,v in pairs(child) do
if v:IsA("NumberValue") then
if v.Value == number then
map = v
end
end
end
return number, map
end

@the8bitdude11 she's/he's asking how she/he would solve this problem, not get to it. If she/he had two maps with the same number how would she/he fix that, that's his/her question. Mr_Pure 129 — 5y
