How to use the results of a dice roll?
Lots of tutorials on how to make a dice script. Very few on how to use dice results to do something. I'm wondering how in this script I get the RollTheDice method to "publish" the finalSide result so that I can use it? Or how do I get a method to look inside RollTheDice and find finalSide? I've been stuck on this for days now. Trying different things. I'm too new to programming to really understand.
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class Dice : MonoBehaviour {
private Sprite[] diceSides;
private SpriteRenderer rend;
private void Start () {
rend = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
diceSides = Resources.LoadAll<Sprite>("DiceSides/");
}
private void OnMouseDown()
{
StartCoroutine("RollTheDice");
}
// Coroutine that rolls the dice
private IEnumerator RollTheDice()
{
int randomDiceSide = 0;
int finalSide = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= 20; i++)
{
randomDiceSide = Random.Range(0, 5);
rend.sprite = diceSides[randomDiceSide];
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.05f);
}
finalSide = randomDiceSide + 1;
Debug.Log(finalSide);
}
}
Here's an example that adds a function to call at the end. @rallyall
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class Dice : MonoBehaviour
{
private Sprite[] diceSides;
private SpriteRenderer rend;
private void Start ()
{
rend = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
diceSides = Resources.LoadAll<Sprite>("DiceSides/");
}
private void OnMouseDown()
{
StartCoroutine("RollTheDice");
}
// Coroutine that rolls the dice
private IEnumerator RollTheDice()
{
int randomDiceSide = 0;
int finalSide = 0;
for (int i = 0; i <= 20; i++)
{
randomDiceSide = Random.Range(0, 5);
rend.sprite = diceSides[randomDiceSide];
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.05f);
}
finalSide = randomDiceSide + 1;
Debug.Log(finalSide);
DiceComplete(finalSide);
yield return null;
}
private void DiceComplete(int dieRoll)
{
//Do whatever you want with the dieRoll here
}
}
I also found this works:
Within the RollTheDice method add:
//name of script using this roll//.diceSideThrown//or whatever you want to call it// = randomDiceSide + 1;
Then in the script that's using it add outside of any method:
public static int diceSideThrown //or the name you gave it// = 0;
try removing randomDiceSide = 0; because you are setting the variable on the coroutine but the coroutine doesn't stop so it sets it to 0 every 0.05 seconds if im wrong im sorry im kinda new to cs
or you can debug.log inside the coroutine but then you gotta stop the coroutine after the log
