[HELP] Timed chatbox messages

[..:D&G:..]

Hello guys, I made this simple script to output some info messages in chat. The thing is that it only outputs the first byte (letter/number) from the table where I've inserted the messages. I know there should be a thing to get the whole string as a whole, but I don't know what it is...

local messages = {  
    "1) Message 1", 
    "2) Message 2", 
    "3) Message 3" 
} 
  
local message = math.random(1, #messages) 
  
function showInfoMessages() 
    setTimer ( function() 
        outputChatBox ("#D60606INFO: "..message, getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 
    end, 10000, 0 ) 
end 
  
showInfoMessages()

It's not outputting the first byte, it's outputting your random number. It will be either 1, 2 or 3. If you want to get the table entry at that index, you need to structure it like this;

outputChatBox ("#D60606INFO: "..messages[message], getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) 

You're also only generating the the random number once, you don't really need a function for this, simply do it like this;

local messages = { 
    "1) Message 1", 
    "2) Message 2", 
    "3) Message 3" 
} 
  
-- Store the timer as a variable so you can manipulate the timer if you need to 
local messageTimer = setTimer(function() 
    local randInt = math.random(1, #messages) -- Generate a new int every cycle 
    outputChatBox ("#D60606INFO: "..tostring(messages[randInt]), getRootElement(), 255, 255, 255, true) -- Output the message at the randomly generated index 
end, 10000, 0)
