Can someone tell me why this script doesn't work?

[late bramble]

this isnt the actual full script but heres a part that doesn't work i just need an answer on why it doenst work

lua

    local function roles()
    local murd
    local shrf
    repeat
        murd = numofplayers[math.random(1,#numofplayers)]
        shrf = numofplayers[math.random(1,#numofplayers)]
    until murd ~= shrf```

[severe ether]

If there is 1 player it will not work

[late bramble]

i tried it with my friend but it still didnt work

[severe ether]

print murd and shrf

[late bramble]

okok give me a second

[nocturne ginkgo]

local t = {}
t = game.Players:GetPlayers()

[severe ether]

?

Why not local t = game.Players:GetPlayers()?

[late bramble]

oh let me also try that

it didnt print out anything btw

[severe ether]

Do you call the function?

Ooo

local murd = numofplayers[math.random(1,#numofplayers)]
local shrf = numofplayers[math.random(1,#numofplayers)]

Instead of
local murd
local shrf

[late bramble]

i do call the function

[late bramble]

but i dont want the sheriff and the murd to be the same person?

[severe ether]

Yes so the repeat until will change it

local murd
local shfr
print(murd) -- will print nil
print(shfr) -- nil
print(murd==shfr) -- false
Since nil = nil

[late bramble]

uhh i just put a print at the start of the function and it didnt print so i think i have problems with the remote event stuff 😭 sorry for wasting you guys' times

Idk if you fix it or not, but when you do a

repeat 
...
until

loop, you should add a wait() to not freeze your Studio

[late bramble]

thank you i didnt get any freezes but still helpful

Usually you might get freezes and "Roblox Studio not responding" when you are using

while true do
--code
end
--Or
repeat
--code
until

Roblox Studio will execute the scripts way to fast and it will freeze

[nocturne ginkgo]

wait()

[severe ether]

You can't freeze with his script since it is only a random value
