Hi, I was writing a program, and I have the following for line 1.

local weather = math.random(60-90)

And I get:

Race:1:  bad argument  #1: interval is empty

What the heck is that? I have worked with variables before and that has never showed up before.
Thanks to anyone who helps.

local weather = math.random(60-90)

You have to use a comma instead of a minus


local weather = math.random(60, 90)

Read documentation

So it generally accepts two arguments, in your case:


math.random( 60, 90 )
