I'm really new to scripting, would love some help.

[mystic parcel]

This is the script I developed myself:
local dice = script.Parent --localizes "dice" which is the gui button

function diceroll()
local i = math.random(2,12) -- randomizes the diceroll
wait(0.1)
print(i) --prints the result
end

dice.TouchTap:Connect(diceroll())
I'm trying to sort of make a roll dice button that will print the result, this is for a future project of mine. The script is located in starter gui linked to the "dice" maybe that's the problem, idk! Anything helps! answer asap :)

local function diceroll()
local i = math.random(2,12) -- randomizes the diceroll
wait(0.1)
print(i) --prints the result
end

dice.Mouse1Click:Connect:(diceroll())

this should work or no

wait

@mystic parcel is dice a button?

[mystic parcel]

@steel magnet so basically this is the very basic gui, maybe you thought it was like by clicking anywhere

[mild canyon]

@mystic parcel show the explorer (at least the part inside startgui)

[sly salmon]

[mystic parcel]

** You are now Level 1! **

[steel magnet]

Connect(diceroll) not :Connect:(diceroll)

[sly salmon]

because it is a player based script

[steel magnet]

Scripts are for server
Local scripts are for client

[mystic parcel]

ahhhhhhh

letme try

Thanks you guys so much! It worked flawlessly!
