Don't enums have stings already. Part.Material = "Grass" Is the same thing as: Part.Material = Enum.Material.Grass Enjoying your stay at the Scripters Forum? Join this! http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=2582784

EnumItem.Name or EnumItem.Value might be better suited for your purposes

local materials = {"Grass", "Plastic", "Ice", "Cobblestone"} local randomMaterial = materials[math.random(1,#materials)] script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material[randomMaterial]
