How do I create a script that gets a random child?
How do I create a :GetChildren() that randomly picks a child?

:GetChildren() returns a table of all the children, so you could do something like thing:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #thing:GetChildren())] which would give you a random child. msuperson24 69 — 5y

parent = workspace.Model local rng = math.random(1, #parent:GetChildren())
rng is a random number between 1 and the amount of children the instance has.
If an instance has 5 children, it will be a number from 1 to 5.
With this we can select a random child from the instance.
local child = parent:GetChildren()[rng]
