Your question is lacking some important information. fafase actually answered the question "as it is" since you didn't mention that you want to randomly choose one of the "states".

Anyways if you want to generate randomly either (1) or (-1) you just do this:

     var val = Random.Range(0,2)*2-1;

  • Random.Range(0,2) (!!with integer values!!) returns either 0 or 1

  • You multiply the result by 2 so the value is 0 or 2

  • subtract 1 so the 0 becomes -1 and the 2 becomes 1

Elementary school math ;)

You could use boolean, and then convert to an integer:

 bool value;
 int result;
 
 result = value ? 1 : -1;

other way more explicit is using enum:

 public enum State{No = -1, Yes = 1}

 State state = State.None;

 state = something ? State.Yes:State.No;
 int result = (int)state;

What about bool? If I can able to generate true or false randomly then there is no need to define -1 or 1. I think now you understand my question.

So why do you ask if you have the answer?

I want to increment row index by +1 or -1 based on randomization. But how to get either +1 or -1? Value between that only.
