Solved How to make random set values?

[Siegh]

I know you can make random values like this for instance:

math.random(1,100)

But how to make a random that works only with certain numbers? For instance, Id want a script to randomize between some item IDs, like 1540 or 1753 or 11235.

Is this possible?

 

[Bogart]

local x = {1540,1753,11235}
local random = x[math.random(1,#x)]

It works but, if I use the action with the script repeteadly, it will always give me the same item that seems to change each time I reload it. Thoughts?

It sounds like it only randomizes once.

That's because it depends where you put this piece of code in the script. It has to be inside the function, not global (before the function). If you put it global, it will load values only when you run the server and won't change them anymore.

My bad for not noticing it, it works 100% now!

Thanks you both
