Random.Range method "left-hand side" error
Hi all, very new to programming and so forgive this noob question and my possibly embarrassing code posted below. I'm trying to create a method for assigning randomly generated value, but keep getting "error CS0131: The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable, a property or an indexer"
public int heroView () {
if (party == "Outlaw" && party == "Mercenary") {
heroView = Random.Range (1, 25);
}
else {
heroView = Random.Range (0, 100);
}
}

your function name "heroView" and the variable in which you are saving the value returned from Random.Range also named "heroView". Just change one of them. :)

Your using Random.Range correctly. The issue is you are not assigning it to a proper variable. You have a method called 'heroView' that is looking for a return type of int, but you are not returning anything.
Simple fix:
public int HeroView () {
if (party == "Outlaw" && party == "Mercenary") {
return Random.Range (1, 25);
}
else {
return Random.Range (0, 100);
}
}
