Can someone make me a looping random text generator, with
characters ASCII 0 to 255? And it should work in the latest CC version for 1.7.10. Thanks.
All the ones I tried could not change the seed.

Moved to General. Ask a Pro is where you'd ask for help when you get stuck creating something. There's no place on the forums to request that someone make something for you, but we usually stick these sort of posts in General.

function randomLetter()
  return string.char(math.random(33,255)) -- 32 and below are control characters and other ones we dont need :^)
end

function generateString(number) -- cant be bothered to add checks for number to be a number.
  local str = ""
  for i=0,number,1 do
	str = str .. randomLetter()
  end
  return str
end

What's your exact code? Because the code that TehRockettek posted should work.

I believe you are using 1.7.10 minecraft which doesnt support certain characters?

Change
math.random(33,255)
to
math.random(33,122)

TehRockettek's code doesn't print the string, it just makes it

add this to the bottom of Rocket's code


local length = 5
print(generateString(length))
