Printing a random value from an array.

Questions & Answers

Hi! I’m going to develop a static name picker (that means I’m not going to use any database because I DONT KNOW IF THAT’S POSSIBLE IN UNITY). Anyways, I don’t know how to print a random value from an array that I have declared. Does anybody know how to?

This is my code.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Names : MonoBehaviour {


	void Start()
	{
		string[] names = new string[3];

		names[0] = "Jon";
		names[1] = "Jen";
		names[2] = "Jun";

           //I need to randomly pick and print a value from this point.
		print(names[0]);
	}


}

I’m still testing stuff out so once I get it working on the console, I’ll implement them on a UI.

If someone has any better ideas, that would be great.

Use Random.Range to select the index: Unity - Scripting API: Random.Range

Why don’t use JSON? http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/JSONSerialization.html
