Change light color with a switch statement
Hi! First of all, I am a beginner, trying to put to use things I am learning on the internet. Today it's switch statements. I am trying to change the color of the light every 2 seconds, depending on the random number generated. The problem I encountered, is that the number stays 0 all the time. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;
public class RandomColor : MonoBehaviour { private int randomNumber; public new Light light;
private void Start()
{
light = gameObject.GetComponent<Light>();
}
private void Update()
{
float reset = 2f;
float timer = Time.deltaTime;
if (timer >= reset)
{
switch (randomNumber)
{
case 0:
break;
case 1:
light.color = Color.blue;
Debug.Log("Color switched to blue!");
break;
case 2:
light.color = Color.red;
Debug.Log("Color switched to red!");
break;
case 3:
light.color = Color.green;
Debug.Log("Color switched to green!");
break;
}
randomNumber = Random.Range(1, 4);
timer = 0f;
}
}
}
