Question by zillion · Oct 14, 2012 at 01:05 PM · javascriptarraystring

Javascript - Calling a random String

Trying to just call a random string from an array in Javascript. Apparentlyyyy I'm missing two semicolons? Can't seem to spot where though. All this is trying to do it print a random string from the 'names' array. Not to sure if the code works or not since I am getting this stupid error. Thank you!

 var names: String["name1", "name2", "name3"];
 int i = Random.Range(0, names.Length - 1);
 var name = names[i];
 
 function Update ()
 {
     print("name");
 }

StringContainer [ 0 ] = "google" ;

StringContainer [ 1 ] = "yahoo" ;

StringContainer [ 2 ] = "ask" ;

StringContainer [ 3 ] = "bing" ;

function Update ( ) {

print ( StringContainer [ Random.Range ( 0,3 ) ] ) ; // Will choose a random number between 0-3

}

You can also take a look at

Random () in the SDK .... IE Random.Value ( ) ;

Random.Range(0,3) does not choose a random number between 0-3. The numbers you will get are 0, 1, and 2.

You have a number of errors...the array is declared incorrectly, you have code outside a function that should not be, Random.Range is used incorrectly, and the print statement is using quotes incorrectly.

 var names = ["name1", "name2", "name3"];
 
 function Start ()
 {
     var i = Random.Range (0, names.Length);
     var name = names[i];
     print (name);
 }
