math.random is rounding my numbers, is there a way to get mixed numbers?
I'm using math.random() to add values between 1.99 and 3.99 to player.leaderstats.Dollars.Value. However, when using math.random() the numbers were randomized, but came out as integers. Here's the code I first attempted to do this with:
1 | client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value = client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value + math.random(1.99, 3.99) |
When I realized that the numbers were being rounded, I added 2 "NumberValue" objects to the script (so... script.min, and script.max). "script.min.Value" was equal to 1.99, and "script.max.Value" was set to 3.99. Here's what I tried:
1 | client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value = client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value + math.random(script.min.Value, script.max.Value) |
The numbers were still being rounded to integers. How would I go about fixing this?

You could just do a random value between 199 cents and 399 Cents and then convert it to Dollars
1 | Cents = math.random(199, 399) |
2 | Dollars = Cents/100 |
3 | client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value = client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value + Dollars |

Basically get a random number, divide it by any power of 10.
In this case,
1 | client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value = client.leaderstats.Dollars.Value + math.random(199, 399)/100 |
