changing aboardgame like linear array path to a have intersections where you choose left or right

Questions & Answers

thanks to the internet I have a working boardgame mechanic that moves the player along the route i assign, but i want there to be intersections where you can go left or right. I cant for the love of me wrap my brain around how i would do it… i feel like i would need two methods that would get called from OnClick() from two icons, im picturing a left and right icon that would update or replace the currentRoute position, any help would be awesome. this is the movement script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Stone : MonoBehaviour
{

public Route currentRoute;

int routePosition;
public int steps;
public bool isMoving;

public int RoutePosition { get => routePosition; set => routePosition = value; }


void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && !isMoving)
        RollThemDice();
        }
    
    IEnumerator Move()
    {
        if (isMoving)
        {
            yield break;
        }
        isMoving = true;
        while (steps > 0)
        {
            Vector3 nextPos = currentRoute.childNodeList[RoutePosition + 1].position;
            while (MoveToNextNode(nextPos)) { yield return null; }

            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
            steps--;
            RoutePosition++;
        }

        isMoving = false;
    }
    bool MoveToNextNode(Vector3 goal)
    {
        return goal != (transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, goal, 2f * Time.deltaTime));
        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, goal, 2f * Time.deltaTime);
    }

public void RollThemDice()
{
    steps = Random.Range(1, 7);
    Debug.Log("Dice rolled" + steps);

    if (RoutePosition + steps < currentRoute.childNodeList.Count)
    {
        StartCoroutine(Move());
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("rolled Number is to high");
    }
}

}

if i get it right your question you can add your choices “left” “right” into the list where left will be just infront the right. Then on click method you assign bool right = true or if left then false

 while (steps > 0)
  {
 int chosenPosition = RoutePosition + 1;
 if(right) chosenPosition = RoutePosition + 2;
 
              Vector3 nextPos = currentRoute.childNodeList[chosenPosition].position;
              while (MoveToNextNode(nextPos)) { yield return null; }
              yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
              steps--;
              RoutePosition++;
          }
