If you want to randomly choose a game object, you would use math.random()
How To Use Math.Random()
math.random() takes 2 arguments, the minimum value that it can go, and the maximum value it can go. So, it would look like this, math.random(1,10), this would choose a random number between 1 and 10. We still have to set it to a variable to use it.
local randomNum = math.random(1,10) print(randomNum) --// Can print a number from 1 to 10.
Result: killerbrenden - Since I would technically be the only one in the server.
If you want to randomize a list of objects, you should get the number of children the parent contains, and randomize that number and index the parent to get the random position in the list!
So, if you wanted to do it with players, you would do something like this.
local players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
local randomPlayer = players[math.random(1,#players)]
print(randomPlayer.Name) --// Would print the random player's name
Result: killerbrenden - Since I would technically be the only one in the server.
Explanation
So, what we're doing here is getting the list of all the players in a table (Line 1). Next, we're indexing the players table, that contains all the players, and we're randomizing the number we're indexing by with math.random(1,#players), this will choose a number between 1 and the number of players there are in the game. Then, it will use that number, and index the players table with it, this will then choose a random player from the list and that is your player object. So, you can do randomPlayer.Name, randomPlayer.Character, etc.
Hope this helped explain math.random!
local Players = game:GetService('Players'); -- The Players service
local ListPlayers = Players:GetPlayers(); -- An array of all the Players in the game
local NumPlayers = #ListPlayers; -- The number of Players in the game
local RandomPlayer = ListPlayers[math.random(1, NumPlayers)]; -- A random Player from the list
math.random - Takes a random number between the two arguments (API Link)
When you create an array like I've done above, each value will have an index (position in the array). You can index by using ArrayName[number], and I have substituted our random number in so it is indexing a random entry in our array of Players.
