help with a random battle generator?

i am making a gale that is gonna consist of a battle system unlike any other. but i have to start at the beginning to even start making it into what i want it, and the beginning is a little more complicated than i originally intended.

i started my scripting already on making the random battles happen, but for my first problem i keep getting this error:

Assets/FPS RPG_Scripts/RandomEncounterScript.cs(21,17): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type ‘float’ to ‘bool’

with this code:

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class RandomEncounterScript : MonoBehaviour {

private int RN;
public bool randEncounter;
public bool inBattle;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

	RN = Random.Range(1, 10);
	
	if (Input.GetAxis("L_U D")){
	if(RN > 4){	
			if(RN < 7){
		Debug.Log ("battle");
			}
		}
	}
}

}

and my second problem. this is going to load another level called battle or something and after the battle is finished i want to have my character resume from the exact same spot as before the random battle occured. how can i cache or store the player coordinates on the map that it was on before the battle?

Havent used “Input.GetAxis” before, but it returns Float value, not boolean.

So, should be then:

if (Input.GetAxis("L_U D")!=0){

now it says Operator !=' cannot be applied to operands of type string' and `int'

As for your first question, Input.GetAxis returns always returns a float value (and always exists) between -1 and 1. As I’m not sure what your intentions were with that line, its hard to suggest a workaround. You would need to do something like

if(Input.GetAxis("L_U D") > 0){  //Moving to left (or right?)
or
if(Input.GetAxis("L_U D") != 0){ //axis is tilted

Again, its hard to say without knowing what you were trying to do. For your second question, look into Object.DontDestroyOnLoad(). Saving an empty object with a script that gets your player.transform.position when the scene changes, then applies it when the scene comes back should work. Personally, I’ve never worked with DontDestroyOnLoad, but it should work.

EDIT: I was ninja’d…
