How to select a(n) item from a table by math.Random or something else ?

Asked 287 views1 answers

So i have a table containing musicid:

local table = {"26616646","516165131","151656548"} -- they are not real (if they are real...idk)
local Random = math.Random(1,#table)
print(Random)

at first I thought that it will print the music id but it is printing 1, 2,3.... So how do i get the music id to be print out randomly ? Please help me as i am a very bad scripter... Thanks for reading :D

Change it to this:

local table = {"26616646","516165131","151656548"}

local Random = math.Random(1,#table)

local ChosenSong = table[Random]

print(Random)

#table gives the number of objects in the table, in your case, 3. Math.random returns a number and not an object or a word.

The reason it was printing 1, 2, 3 was because the hashtag mean't numbers of items in your table.
