     if(human > -1)
     {
         // choose a value for the computer
         var computer = -1;
         if (GUI.Button(Rect(40, 10, 80, 60), "Attack"))
             computer = 0;
         if (GUI.Button(Rect(140, 10, 80, 60), "Range"))
             computer=1;
         if (GUI.Button(Rect(240, 10, 80, 60), "Defence"))
             computer=2;
         
         if(computer > -1)
         {
             // set the results to equal to start
             var results=0;
             ccc.animation.Play("Intro");
         
             // did we win?
             if(human == 0 && computer == 2) results = 1;
             if(human == 1 && computer == 0) results = 1;
             if(human == 2 && computer == 1) results = 1;
             
             // did we lose?
             if(human == 0 && computer == 1) results = -1;
             if(human == 1 && computer == 2) results = -1;

I haven't really used UnityGUI, but keep in mind that the GUI is build "on the fly" while executing OnGUI() each frame. So there will be three buttons. If you click one of them, "human" will be set, and only in this case three new buttons for the computer will be rendered. However, a) the button click has already been evaluated, b) these buttons overlay the "human" buttons at identical position. So none of the thre computer-"if"-conditions can ever be true.

If that is not the solution, you'd have to explain the problem some more. What are these computer buttons supposed to do, how do you intend to choose a value for computer, what do you mean by "i changed "computer" from a random number to another player", what is the problem you are seeing?

Yes, that's what is strange. I think that by "changed computer to player", this really means that buttons have been added for the computer. That is definitely why it is important to set the values of a class scope variable.
