13:37:16.683 ServerScriptService.Script:13: invalid argument #2 to 'random' (number expected, got nil) - Server - Script:13

lol

i made this script with pure memory

so im not sure

why its erroring

i make it so it gets the v[2] which is like 2,3,4,5,6 and does a math . random

to get the rarity

why is it nil?

man

this hard

do i do

[cold elbow]

you dont even pass arguments when calling getItem

[olive tinsel]

{Name = "Funtime Juice",weight = 2, Price = 400, Rarity = "Insane", Description = "Crazy juice for a funtime"},```

omg

i just saw that

thank you

while task.wait(3) do
    local itemdata = getItem()
    itemdata(itemdata.itemName, itemdata.Prce, itemdata.itemRarity, itemdata.itemDescription)
    
    print(itemdata)
end```

is this ok

[lyric lance]

v[2] wouldnt really work since your table is a dictionary and [index] prob only work for arrays

[olive tinsel]

yeah i fixed it

it turns out since v[2] is already a key

it would be easier to just do
