Action Fortune Cookie

[Sportacus]

This is a script that when you use a cookie, you get a fortune with it.

The fortune comes on a piece of paper.

I included 46 fortunes, feel free to add more.


You can either add it to your food script, or make a script just for the cookie.

I added it to my food script.

local FORTUNES = { 		-- Fortunes for the Fortune Cookie

I like it very much, but you should do a small edit:

Instead of:

local chance = math.random(1, 46)

You should change it to:

local chance = math.random(1,#FORTUNES)

then you can add more fortunes without encreasing the math.randoms value.

Thanks, and I like the fortunes! Keep it up
