Need help with random name generator

[manic bloom]

Hi potato, this is an extremely simple script

you would have a table with names

and another table with last names

so 2 tables right

every time the player joins get a random value from from the names table

and another random value from the last names table

apply those values in either an attribute, or an object value, whatever you decided to use for the player name and last name storage 🙂

that's literally it

@manic bloom Currently I have 2 folders in server storage, in them are 50 first name values and 50 last name values already named

Did i do it right

[manic bloom]

I mean yes

I would have not done that but you can do exactly the same thing

[worn anvil]

sorry i dont scro[t

[manic bloom]

it's fine

[worn anvil]

and theres no tutorials

this is all i have idk anything

    local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
    local FirstNamesFold = serverStorage.FirstNames
    local LastNamesFold = serverStorage.LastNames

    local FirstNameRand = math.random(1,50)
    local LastNameRand = math.random(1,50)

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:FindFirstChild(FirstNameRand).Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:FindFirstChild(LastNameRand).Value
    
    local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    Player.Parent = workspace

    Player.Name = FirstName.." "..LastName 

end

[manic bloom]

okay so 2 folders right?

[manic bloom]

almost

[manic bloom]

that'll error

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:FindFirstChild(FirstNameRand).Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:FindFirstChild(LastNameRand).Value

see this? FindFirstChild takes a string

you are passing a number

so what you want to do is

[worn anvil]

yeah

I have like Folder. Value (Named with the number) and the value is the name

[manic bloom]

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:GetChildren()[FirstName].Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:GetChildren()[LastName].Value

GetChildren will return an array

and you can index to an array with bracketsd []

[worn anvil]

ok

[manic bloom]

and that's it

you did great!

[worn anvil]

wait

[manic bloom]

only that minor thing

[worn anvil]

[worn anvil]

    local serverStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
    local FirstNamesFold = serverStorage.FirstNames
    local LastNamesFold = serverStorage.LastNames

    local FirstNameRand = math.random(1,50)
    local LastNameRand = math.random(1,50)

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:FindFirstChild(FirstNameRand).Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:FindFirstChild(LastNameRand).Value

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:GetChildren()[FirstName].Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:GetChildren()[LastName].Value
    
    local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    Player.Parent = workspace

    Player.Name = FirstName.." "..LastName 

end

[manic bloom]

[worn anvil]

[manic bloom]

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:FindFirstChild(FirstNameRand).Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:FindFirstChild(LastNameRand).Value

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:GetChildren()[FirstName].Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:GetChildren()[LastName].Value

[worn anvil]

    local FirstNamesFold = serverStorage.FirstNames
    local LastNamesFold = serverStorage.LastNames

    local FirstNameRand = math.random(1,50)
    local LastNameRand = math.random(1,50)

    local FirstName = FirstNamesFold:GetChildren()[FirstName].Value
    local LastName = LastNamesFold:GetChildren()[LastName].Value


    local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
    Player.Parent = workspace

    Player.Name = FirstName.." "..LastName 

end
