ramdomised weapon pickup

Questions & Answers

hey guys, I’ve got this weapon pickup script set to a pickup object that gives the player a weapon when picked up, so far the pickup only gives one fixed weapon per single pickup and I must create a new pickup for each weapon, so what I want to do is make a mario kart style pickup where it will give a random weapon when picked up instead of each weapon needing it’s own pickup. How can I do this ? here’s the script

var MachineGun : GameObject;
var RocketLauncher : GameObject;
var Unarmed : GameObject;
var UsingNothing : boolean = true;
var Using_MG : boolean = false;
var Using_RL : boolean = false;

function Start(){
UsingNothing = true;
Using_MG = false;
Using_RL = false;


}


function OnTriggerEnter (other:Collider){

if (other.GetComponent.<Collider>().gameObject.name == "MachineGun Pickup"){

UsingNothing = false;
Using_MG = true;
Using_RL = false;

}




if (other.GetComponent.<Collider>().gameObject.name == "RocketLauncher Pickup"){

UsingNothing = false;
Using_MG = false;
Using_RL = true;

}




}


function Update(){

if (UsingNothing){
      Unarmed.gameObject.active = true;
      MachineGun.gameObject.active = false;
      RocketLauncher.gameObject.active = false;

}

if (Using_MG){
      Unarmed.gameObject.active = false;
      MachineGun.gameObject.active = true;
      RocketLauncher.gameObject.active = false;

}





if (Using_RL){
      Unarmed.gameObject.active = false;
      MachineGun.gameObject.active = false;
      RocketLauncher.gameObject.active = true;
     
}

You can use Random.Range(min, max); to get a random value

So you could do this:

private void SelectRandomWeapon() {
  int weaponIndex = Random.Range(0, 3);
  switch (weaponIndex) {
  default:
  case 0:
    UsingNothing = true;
    break;
  case 1:
    Using_MG = true;
    break;
  case 2:
    Using_RL = true;
    break;
  }
}

Not sure why you are using the booleans though, why aren’t you activating the weapon game object on the collision?
