math.random in a table?

[austin1346]

I have this table here
local teams = {}

--Citizen

teams[TEAM_CITIZEN] = {
	name = "Citizen",
	color = Color( 39, 174, 96 ),
	model = {
		"models/player/Group01/Male_01.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_02.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_03.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_04.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_05.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_06.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_07.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_08.mdl",
		"models/player/Group01/Male_09.mdl",
	},
	weapons = {
		"keys",
		"weapon_physcannon",
		"weapon_physgun",
		"gmod_tool"
	}
}

How would I use this code here to randomly pick a model from the list?

function plyMeta:SetGamemodeModel()

	local teamN = self:Team()

	--[Set model]
	self:SetModel( "models/player/Group01/Male_09.mdl" )//teams[teamN].model )

	for k, v in pairs( teams[teamN].model ) do
		
		self:ChatPrint( "Picked model: " .. v ) --debug, prints out 9 lines of all the models. How would i select one of them at random?

	end

end

Thanks!

You can just generate a random number, and use it as an index for the table.

local rnd = math.random(1,#teams[TEAM_CITIZEN]["model"])
self:SetModel( teams[TEAM_CITIZEN]["model"][rnd] )

Thanks guys, although I managed to figure it out on my own seconds after posting this.
This is what I did

self:SetModel( teams[teamN].model[math.random( 1, table.Count( teams[teamN].model ) )] )
