I have this script that will pick a random song from a folder in workspace and then play it.
local LobbyMusicFolder = game.workspace:WaitForChild("LobbyMusic")
LobbyMusicFolder:GetChildren()
local LobbyMusicChosen = LobbyMusicFolder[math.random(1,#LobbyMusicFolder)]
LobbyMusicChosen:Play()
Hey, currently you're just giving it the folder in the 2nd argument of math.random. :)
This is why it's returning a userdata.
What you can do is, use this
lobbyMusicFolderGetChildren() ^ Gives you a table, which we can then use math.random on :D
local LobbyMusicFolder = game.workspace:WaitForChild("LobbyMusic")
local lobbyMusicChosen = lobbyMusicFolderGetChildren()[math.random(1, #lobbyMusicFolder:GetChildren())]
lobbyMusicChosen:Play()
If this helped, please mark it as answered, and upvote!
It looks like you know Javascript. An important difference between Javascript and Lua is that methods in Lua usually don't modify the object they act on, rather they return the value. This problem is easily fixable by changing line 1 to
local LobbyMusicFolder = game.workspace:WaitForChild("LobbyMusic"):GetChildren()
I hope my answer helped you. Please remember to mark it as correct and upvote it if it solved your problem best!
