Creating random objects

Questions & Answers
1

So I’m doing a first person thing where you toss trash around the woods and eventually get attacked by a bear…anyway, i want to randomly create trash. I’ve modeled the different pieces of trash (5 for now, i might add more).

I have the code to create objects on a mouse click attached to the first person controller…

var newObject : Transform;
function Update () {
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
Instantiate(newObject, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}

what do i need to add to make it create random objects?

var trash : GameObject;

function Update () {
	if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
		Instantiate (trash[Random.Range(0, trash.Length)], transform.position, transform.rotation);
	}
}

Hi PileOfDeadNinjas!

Is this what you are looking for :

var variousTrashPrefabs : GameObject[];  //assign all kinds of trashy objects here via the inspector
function RandomTrash()
{
    var randomIndex : int = Random.Range(0,variousTrashPrefabs.length);
    Instantiate(variousTrashPrefabs[randomIndex], transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
