(c#) display a random string at game over

Questions & Answers
1

Hey all, I’m trying to set up a game over script that will display a random string of text.

public void GameOver()
	{
		string[] dead = new List
		{"gameover1", 
		"gameover2",
		"gameover3",
		"gameover4",
		"gameover5"}
		gameOverText.text = dead[Random.Range(0, dead.length)];
		gameOver = true;
	}

The issue is, when I go back to Unity, it tells me that there is a unexpected symbol “gameOverText”. I must be missing a typo or a command or something, because it worked fine before I tried to add the random aspect. Being such a nooblet, I don’t put it past myself to have missed something gigantic.

public void GameOver()
{
string dead = new List
{“gameover1”,
“gameover2”,
“gameover3”,
“gameover4”,
“gameover5”};
gameOverText.text = dead[Random.Range(0, dead.length**-1**)];
gameOver = true;
}

You typically don’t create arrays by declaring a list.

Try new string {…}
