Random points on the map

[AMARANT]

Hello there How can I create 5 random coordinates from my table of 100 different ones so that they don't be repeated? I mean it might be a mess if a random coordinate turns out 17 and then it turns out 17 again.

math.random?

You can use this code, however the co-ordinates I have placed in 'theCoordinates' table are just imaginary, you will have to replace them with your own.

local theCoordinates =  
{  
    [1] = { a, b, c } 
    [2] = { d, e, f } 
    [3] = { g, h, i } 
    [4] = { j, k, l } 
} 
  
local lastCoordinate = nil 
function getRandomCoordinate( ) 
     
    local index = tonumber( math.random( 1, 4 ) ) 
    if ( index ~= lastCoordinate ) then 
         
        lastCoordinate = index 
         
        local x, y, z = unpack( theCoordinates[ index ] ) 
        return x, y, z 
    else 
        getRandomCoordinate( ) 
    end  
end
