How do I make a random function?
So I want to figure out how to make random functions, this can be useful to make a game like Horrific Housing.
function One()
print("1")
end
function Two()
print("2")
end
function Three()
print("3")
end
local functions = {One(), Two(), Three()}
math.random(1, #functions)
I'm using strings because it shows whats happening. When you run this, it'll print all the numbers that are there, is there a way to fix this?

You can store your functions invariables like so:
one = function()
print("1")
end
two = function()
print("2")
end
three = function()
print("3")
end
then put those variables in a table:
local functions = { one, two, three }
and pick a random function in that table/call that function
randomFunction = functions[math.random(1, #functions)] randomFunction()
All together, it would look like this:
one = function()
print("1")
end
two = function()
print("2")
end
three = function()
print("3")
end
local functions = { one, two, three }
randomFunction = functions[math.random(1, #functions)]
randomFunction()
