So because nobody has answered my previous question yet I am writing a new one where I have come up with a new idea that should in theory work but isn't. here is the code
local part = script.Parent local function createblock() local block = Instance.new("Part", game.Workspace) local xvalue = math.random(-56.505, -99.505) local yvalue = 35 local zvalue = math.random(104.5, 159.5) block.Position = Vector3.new(xvalue, yvalue, zvalue) end while true do createblock() wait(.2) end
I seems fine what it does is I have set a range with a math.random sequence so it will get a random position in a certain range. When I run it is has an error message on line 5 with the x value saying like interval is empty. I tried multiple times it didn't work. I then tooked the -99.505 and changed it to a positive number to see what would happen it worked fine just not in the range I wanted it to. Can I not have a negative then a negative number in a math.random function?
math.random
expects the first number to be the lowest. Since -99.505 < -56.505, you should use math.random(-99.505, -56.505)
instead.
It can not sadly only the minimum number is 1 (See here), though you can just switch to positive then multiply the output by (-1) to get the range you want.
math.random(56.505, 99.505)*(-1)
Also its best to put brackets around negative numbers, not just in scripting but general mathematics.
