[SOLVED] Math Random Keep Choosing Same Values

[next nexus]

I try to prevent it but its still happening

local function chooseRandomKeyValue()
    local currentBoolValue = nil
    local previousBoolValue = nil
    
    
    
    local BoolValuesFolder = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Values:WaitForChild("BoolValues"):GetChildren()
    
    
    repeat 
        currentBoolValue = BoolValuesFolder[math.random(1,#BoolValuesFolder)]
        wait()
    until currentBoolValue ~= previousBoolValue
    if currentBoolValue ~= previousBoolValue then
        local choosenBoolValue = currentBoolValue
        return choosenBoolValue
    end
    
end

What does it print

I mean what is the value

[next nexus]

its print the same thing

[cosmic egret]

what is the value?

What number

[next nexus]

basically i want one of these bool values to set to be true

choosenBoolvalue = chooseRandomKeyValue()
print(choosenBoolvalue.Name) -- print same thing

[cosmic egret]

ReplicatedStorage.Values.BoolValues:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #ReplicatedStorage.Values.BoolValues:GetChildren())].Value = true
``` 👁👄👁

[next nexus]

it choosing same thing

sometimes*

[cosmic egret]

so you want to keep the previous pick and avoid picking that again?

[next nexus]

like 20% chacne

[next nexus]

yes

like set the previous pick value to false

[next nexus]

same thing print

for some reason it works on random map

for the map . its work . for the bool value, its keep choosing same thing

[cosmic egret]

local function Randomizer(prev)
    local randomNum, values = math.random(1, #ReplicatedStorage.Values.BoolValues:GetChildren()), ReplicatedStorage.Values.BoolValues:GetChildren()
    if values[randomNum] == prev then
        task.wait()
        Randomizer(prev)
    end
    return values[randomNum]
end

local randomizer = nil
randomizer = Randomizer(randomizer)
randomizer.Value = true

[next nexus]

alr lets see

[cosmic egret]

If youre going to randomizer again just loop through do

for _, v in pairs(ReplicatedStorage.Values.BoolValues:GetChildren()) do v.Value = false end
randomizer = Randomizer(randomizer)
randomizer.Value = true

Just mess with it

[next nexus]

its keep choosing same value

[cosmic egret]

Rng is good

did you set randomizer to nil again?

[next nexus]

wait

hold on

[cosmic egret]

Dont set it back to nil, its the variable that stores the previous random

[next nexus]

i didint

lemme test it again

it works

thx

Thx @cosmic egret

[cosmic egret]

cool

[next nexus]

i need 1 mor help

its client script

and its ui

[cosmic egret]

try this, removed the redundant getchildren bits

[next nexus]

alr

local function detectAllValues()
    while wait(5) do -- check the values every 5 seconds
        if Values.isKeyGreen.Value == true then
            text.Text = "Key Green"
        elseif Values.isKeyRed.Value == true then
            text.Text = "Key Red"
        elseif Values.isKeyYellow.Value == true then
            text.Text = "Key Yellow"
        end
    end
    
end

for some reason it didint update

like if the text turn to key green

it gonna keep for ever

.

[cosmic egret]

local names = {["isKeyGreen"] = "Key Green", ["isKeyRed"] = "Key Red", ["isKeyYellow"] = "Key Yellow"}
local function Detect()
    for _, v in pairs(Values:GetChildren()) do
        if v.Value then return text.Text = names[v.Name] end
    end
end

[next nexus]

oo thx

that is so good

[cosmic egret]

Youd have to call Detect() whether:

a while loop

fire a remotevent to client after randomizer

[next nexus]

ok

thx

i gtg

sleeping
