Random.range multiple instantiations without repetition
Hello all, Ive been at this for the last day or so, and its starting to bug me - I have no problem instantiating several random game objects out of an array of multiple game objects, I can grasp the random.range with no problem, but when it comes to making sure the same game objects aren't instantiated more that once, I'm having difficulty, Ive tried a few scripts across the net but am having trouble.. Could anybody give me a hand?
Heres my code:
var bodyParts : GameObject[];
function GenerateBodyParts() {
var bodyPartsNum : int = Random.Range(0, bodyParts.length);
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
Instantiate(bodyParts[bodyPartsNum], transform.position + Vector3(0.05,0.05,-0.9), Quaternion.identity);
}
}
I'd really appreciate some help guys, in JS if possible as I'm not very competent in any other language at the moment.
I know there are scripts out there but i can't seem to get them to work for this function, i.e. multiple random instantiations.
Cheers - monster.
Tested it and it works. Added a 1 second wait just so you could tell the order was random.
var bodyParts : GameObject[];
function Start()
{
GenerateBodyParts();
}
function GenerateBodyParts() {
//make a copy of the original one
//since we will be removing them from the array when we create them
var bodyPartsCopy : GameObject[] = bodyParts;
//loop through each bodypart
for (var i = 0; i < bodyParts.Length; i++) {
//pick a random index
var bodyPartsNum : int = Random.Range(0, bodyPartsCopy.Length-1);
//instantiate the bodypart
yield WaitForSeconds(1);
Instantiate(bodyPartsCopy[bodyPartsNum], transform.position + Vector3(0.05,0.05,-0.9), Quaternion.identity);
//now need to remove the bodypart from the array so we don't create it again
//but we need to make it a JS array first, remove it, then convert back to a builtin array to be used by unity
var bodyPartsJS : Array = bodyPartsCopy;
bodyPartsJS.RemoveAt(bodyPartsNum);
bodyPartsCopy = bodyPartsJS;
}
}
That looks like its headed in the right direction, thanks for the quick response - but I'm getting the following errors:
$$anonymous$$ identifier: 'count'. RemoveAt is not a member of UnityEngine.GameObject[] ToBuiltin is not a member of UnityEngine.GameObject[]
any ideas? thanks again.
I got rid of the whole count variable. I figured out you didnt need it. Hope it works.
yeah of course, its already in the bodyPartsNum.. any ideas to the ToBuiltIn and RemoveAt not being members of UnityEngine.GameObject[] ? cheers!
Will test in the morning, and will let you know then - thanks for the quick reply! :)
