ramdomised weapon pickup

Question

hey guys, I've got this weapon pickup script set to a pickup object that gives the player a weapon when picked up, so far the pickup only gives one fixed weapon per single pickup and I must create a new pickup for each weapon, so what I want to do is make a mario kart style pickup where it will give a random weapon when picked up instead of each weapon needing it's own pickup. How can I do this ? here's the script

 var MachineGun : GameObject;
 var RocketLauncher : GameObject;
 var Unarmed : GameObject;
 var UsingNothing : boolean = true;
 var Using_MG : boolean = false;
 var Using_RL : boolean = false;
 
 function Start(){
 UsingNothing = true;
 Using_MG = false;
 Using_RL = false;
 
 
 }
 
 
 function OnTriggerEnter (other:Collider){
 
 if (other.GetComponent.<Collider>().gameObject.name == "MachineGun Pickup"){
 
 UsingNothing = false;
 Using_MG = true;
 Using_RL = false;
 
 }
 
 
 
 
 if (other.GetComponent.<Collider>().gameObject.name == "RocketLauncher Pickup"){
 
 UsingNothing = false;
 Using_MG = false;
 Using_RL = true;
 
 }
 
 
 
 
 }
 
 
 function Update(){
 
 if (UsingNothing){
       Unarmed.gameObject.active = true;
       MachineGun.gameObject.active = false;
       RocketLauncher.gameObject.active = false;
 
 }
 
 if (Using_MG){
       Unarmed.gameObject.active = false;
       MachineGun.gameObject.active = true;
       RocketLauncher.gameObject.active = false;
 
 }
 
 
 
 
 
 if (Using_RL){
       Unarmed.gameObject.active = false;
       MachineGun.gameObject.active = false;
       RocketLauncher.gameObject.active = true;
      
 }
 
 
 
 }

You can use Random.Range(min, max); to get a random value https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

So you could do this:

 private void SelectRandomWeapon() {
   int weaponIndex = Random.Range(0, 3);
   switch (weaponIndex) {
   default:
   case 0:
     UsingNothing = true;
     break;
   case 1:
     Using_MG = true;
     break;
   case 2:
     Using_RL = true;
     break;
   }
 }

Not sure why you are using the booleans though, why aren't you activating the weapon game object on the collision?
