How can i get ANY random transform on a certain layer?

Unity Engine

Yeah, just wanting to know if it’s possible to somehow get a random transform from a certain layer.

i need this for my AI enemies, so that they can chose to look at and chase after any of the AI on another team and vice-versa.

Something like

var allAIs : Array() = FindObjectsOfType(AI);
target = allAIs[ parseInt( Random.value * (allAIs.length-1) ) ];

?
You might want to create your ‘allAIs’ or "allRedTeamAIs’ or whatever arrays at Start(), then just update them whenever you add/remove an AI to avoid calling the expensive FindObjectsOfType function all the time.

cool thanks, that looks pretty good.

i also found this function;

targetAI = GameObject.FindWithTag("Red_AIs").transform

I’ll give em both a go :slight_smile:
