Hello,

I have made a shuffle function but the problem that I am havind that it doesnt always assign a value to tCoords.value. I have no clue why it does that and thats why I am here. I need this for my upcoming game memory!


The code:

local shuffle = function()
	for i = 1, 28 do
		tCoords[i].active = false
	end  -- To set the 'cards' showing = false
	local tempValStorage = {} -- check if I already have that number
	local randomVal -- So everything stays local
	for i = 1, 14 do -- 14 sets of numbers
		while true do
			randomVal = math.random(1, 14)
			local redeem = true
			for i = 1, #tempValStorage do
				if tempValStorage[i] == randomVal then -- Checking if I already have that number
					redeem = false
					break
				end
			end
			if redeem then
				table.insert(tempValStorage, randomVal)
				break
			end
		end
		while true do
			local randomIndex = math.random(1, 28) -- generate for wich buttons
			local randomIndex2 = math.random(1, 28)
			if not tCoords[randomIndex].value and not tCoords[randomIndex2].value then -- check if they dont have a value
				tCoords[randomIndex].value = randomVal -- set the number
				tCoords[randomIndex2].value = randomVal
				break
			end
		end
	end
	return true
end

I hope you guys can help me with this. This is probably the most important part of memory.

That function works. Just add the stuff where you set the value and shit.

Well just to explain my solution:

The big problem was that two indexes, with a similair number ( like tCoords[19] and tCoords[19] ) can get one value. I simply have fixed this by:

if not tCoords[randomIndex].value and not tCoords[randomIndex2].value and randomIndex ~= randomIndex2 then
