How can I give a variable a equal to a random number?
I tried all that I know. I know what math.random is but I do not know how to make it go to a variable. Here is my attempt
while true do
wait(.1)
MyNum = math.random
if MyNum == 1 then
0
what do you mean... local MyNum = math.random(1,100) if MyNum == 30 then --code end MyNum is the random variable, to simply transfer it say, local NewMyNum = MyNum, I really do not understand what you are thinking right now. greatneil80 2647 — 5y

Tip for writing questions on here, it's recommended to put code in the 'Code Block' (The <> at the top of the screen when editing the question) format, it makes it easier to traverse the code. Also good luck on programming. ninja_eaglegamer 61 — 5y

Well first of all the number range for
math.random
is -infinity to infinity so the chances of you getting 1 in that large amount of numbers are slim to none so what you could do is
while wait(3) do -- every 3 seconds
local Var = math.random(-5,5) --setting range to be -5 through 5
if Var == 1 then -- which is 1/11 chances of getting a 1 but you get the point
print("Var = "..Var)
else
print("No")
end
end
