How would I go about making a World Script that selects 2 players at random?
I'm making a game that requires two individual players to be selected from the server. I'm having trouble because my script sometimes selects the same player twice! Please help here is my code:
math.randomseed(tick()) local randomPlayer1 = game.Players:GetPlayers()[math.random(1,#game.Players:GetPlayers())] randomPlayer1.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(9.325, 5.81, 7.645)) --Set Player to not move wait(0.000001) randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0 wait(0.000001)--Double Safe randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0 --Need to set orientation randomPlayer1.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) serV.Text = "New Player, " .. randomPlayer1.Name .. ". Has been Selected!" Output1.Text = "Opponent 1: " .. randomPlayer1.Name wait(3) serV.Text = "Searching for Opponents!" wait(3) math.randomseed(tick()) local randomPlayer2 = game.Players:GetPlayers()[math.random(1,#game.Players:GetPlayers())] serV.Text = "New Player, " .. randomPlayer2.Name .. ". Has been Selected!" Output2.Text = "Opponent 2: " .. randomPlayer2.Name randomPlayer2.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(9.325, 5.81, -6.787)) --Set Player to not move wait(0.000001) randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0 wait(0.000001) --Double Safety randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 randomPlayer1.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0 --Need to set orientation randomPlayer2.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 180, 0) wait(2) serV.Text = "Round Beggining!"

There are a lot of ways to do this, I'll explain a couple.
Repeat loop
What you can do is store Player1 picked and when the server picks the next person, it'll keep picking people until the picked player isn't Player1.
local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local Player1 = Players[math.random(1, #Players)]
local Player2
repeat
Player2 = Players[math.random(1, #Players)]
until (Player2 ~= Player1)
Table
Make a table of the players and once you pick Player1, remove him/her from the table that way you don't pick the same person again.
