How to make a math.random choose between a different variable?
So I want this poster to change words. There are 8 adjectives and 8 nouns. Each variable before the mousebutton1click function starts looks like this
01 | adjective1 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.chaotic |
02 | adjective2 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.fancy |
03 | adjective3 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.fierce |
04 | adjective4 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.majestic |
05 | adjective5 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.powerful |
06 | adjective6 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.stunning |
07 | adjective7 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.unique |
08 | adjective8 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.wholesome |
09 |
10 | noun1 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.cat |
11 | noun2 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.eagle |
12 | noun3 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.flower |
13 | noun4 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.human |
14 | noun5 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.lion |
15 | noun6 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.mountian |
16 | noun7 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.potato |
17 | noun8 = script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Nouns.Frame.tree |
Now I could have made a table, but i didnt feel like it. Now when you do math.random it would choose a number 1,8. The number it gets would be one adjective, and I would make another variable in the function and it would give me one noun. I have not completed the script but please tell me how i would do this.
01 | script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
02 | local adjective = math.random(1,8) |
03 | local noun = math.random(1,8) |
04 |
05 | if adjective == 1 then |
06 | adjective1.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
07 | adjective1.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
08 |
09 | or adjective == 2 do |
10 | adjective2.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
11 | adjective2.TextStrokeColor3 = Color3.new(255,255,255) |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |

Its much, much better practice to just put these in a table. It would make it a lot more simple.
01 | local adjectives = { |
02 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.chaotic, |
03 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.fancy, |
04 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.fierce, |
05 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.majestic, |
06 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.powerful, |
07 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.stunning, |
08 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.unique, |
09 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.wholesome |
10 | } |
And do the same for the other. Now that thats in order, we can pick a random result:
01 | local adjectives = { |
02 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.chaotic, |
03 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.fancy, |
04 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.fierce, |
05 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.majestic, |
06 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.powerful, |
07 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.stunning, |
08 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.unique, |
09 | script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame.wholesome |
10 | } |
11 |
12 | local result = adjectives[math.Random(1,#adjectives)] |

for this wouldent it be easier just to do "script.Parent.Parent.Base.youare.Adjectives.Frame:GetChildren" since they are all children of the frame? Benbebop 1049 — 5y
