Disreguard random number after use...
Using Random.Range, i choose a number at random from 1-10.
But i only want each number to be used once, so if i roll a 3, then re-roll 3 i want it to either roll again, or take 3 out of the list of randomly chooseable (did i just make up a word?) numbers.
Are either of these things possible?
Thanks, Tom :)
Sure. You'll just need to make a random number "pool" of sorts. This can just be a List or something similar. Fill it with the numbers you want, then do a Random.Range from 0 to the length of the list. Get the value, remove that index from the list, and repeat until the list is empty.
You could also shuffle the array, and then pick the numbers, one by one. (A search for "shuffle array" will likely give you many different ways to do this.)
sure just store ur last number in a variable
lets say ur first roll is 3 then u store it in a variable
and compare.
if (the new number == to the last number){
re-roll again.
}
Hopefully you don't have an unlucky player who gets stuck in an infinite loop! xD
ahahah that's not possible, unless only 1 value is used xD
Provided you change the if to a while (to guarantee a different number is used), it is possible to get stuck in an infinite loop there. In practice, though, it probably won't happen. But, if the range of values is small, the code might get caught in that loop for quite a few cycles, causing a slight frame rate drop.
that is true. so it could be so ezly fixed. maybe u dont reroll if the number is the same just take the number and +1 or + another random. :)
the only on or two ways i can think of that are different than those already posted at the moment would be to either the best seems to be:
have an array of already rolled numbers that gets added to every roll and then if a rolled number is equal to any number in that array the code would roll again until it got a number not included in the array. when the array got filled it would be reset.
so for example (sorry this is off the top of my head):
var rolledNumbers : int[]
var rolledNumber : int;
function Start(){
rolledNumbers = new int[10];
}
function onRoll(){
var tempNum : int = Random.Range(1,10);
if( rolledNumbers[tempNum]=tempNum){
return;
}
else{
rolledNumber = tempNum;
rolledNumbers[tempNum] = tempNum;
}
}
}
