How to use random.range twice

I’m trying to make my random code run twice so it can selection to random players. It works for 1, but I can’t get it to work with 2 players. Here’s my code for choosing a random player.

void TagRandomPlayer(){
		int PlayerListRange = PlayerList.Count;
		System.Random Rand = new System.Random ();
		int RandomPick = Rand.Next (0, PlayerListRange);
		TaggedPlayer = PlayerList [RandomPick];
		KnifeWeapon knife = PlayerDictionary [TaggedPlayer].GetComponent<KnifeWeapon>();
		knife.GetComponent<KnifeWeapon>().enabled = true;
	}

Hi, consider using an function where you can call so that it picks a random value for you when you need it instead of having to call it everytime the function runs. Also, try using Random.Range instead (I prefer it :P)

It will would look something like this:

public string[] names = new string[] { "Hello", "Bye", "Cya" };
string TaggedPlayer;
    
void Start ()
{
   TagRandomPlayer();
}

void TagRandomPlayer()
{
   TaggedPlayer = names[PickRandom()];
   print(TaggedPlayer);
}

int PickRandom()
{
   int PlayerListRange = names.Length;
   int RandomPick = Random.Range(0, PlayerListRange);
   return RandomPick;
}

Now it selects an random value for you at the and prints it at start! This shouldn’t be to hard to add =)
