How to give X, Y, Z different values from the same math.random() function?

Question

Basically what i want is:

local X, Y, Z = math.random()

Without assigning each value to math.random():

local X, Y, Z = math.random(), math.random(), math.random()

Answer 1

You can write a function that does that for you:

local function rand(n)
    local res = {}
    for i = 1, n do
        table.insert(res, math.random())
    end
    return table.unpack(res)
end

And call it like that:

local X, Y, Z = rand(3) -- Get 3 random numbers
print(X, Y, Z)
