getting a random object

[skeleton_king]

I have parent gameobject which has many child game objects. How do i get a random child game object from those lists of gameobjects.

Transform.childCount, Transform.GetChild(), and Random.Range() should have you covered.

[proandrius]

Transform[] childs = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
GameObject randomObject = childs[Random.Range(0,childs.Length)];

@proandrius

Transform[] childs = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
GameObject randomObject = childs[Random.Range(0,childs.Length)];

I’m not sure just posting the complete solution to a trivial problem is the right approach, that’s why I didn’t.

Cannot implicitly convert type UnityEngine.Transform[ ]' to UnityEngine.GameObject[ ]’

I am getting above error when trying above code

Yeah, here you go:

Transform[] childs = (Transform[]) gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
GameObject randomObject = (GameObject) ((Transform)childs[Random.Range(0,childs.Length)]).gameObject;
