Random Position Inside an object

Questions & Answers
1

Hi im attempting to create a method for getting a random location inside an object. Im mainly doing this to make my missiles a little more interesting as when dealing with a large object [1000 units] having lots of them all heading all to the same central point doesn't look good. I think I have a good basic method down but cant seam to get it to work;

Hierarchy Setup

//Position Generation Used in Start()       
        Transform c = target.FindChild ("ColSpheres");
        if (c != null) {
            int i = 0;
            foreach (Transform s in c) {
                i++;
            }
            Transform[] scd = new Transform*;*
 *i = 0;*
 *foreach (Transform s in c) {*
 _scd *= s;*_
 _*i++;*_
 _*}*_
 _*int rands = Random.Range (0, i - 1);*_
 _*Bounds b = (scd[rands].GetComponent (typeof(SphereCollider)) as SphereCollider).bounds;*_
 _*targetpos = scd[rands].transform.localPosition*_ 
 _*+ c.localPosition*_ 
 <em>_+ Random.insideUnitSphere * b.extents.magnitude;_</em>
 _*}*_
_*//Tracking Code used in Update()*_
 _*Quaternion targetrotation = Quaternion.LookRotation (*_
 _*(target.position*_ 
 _*+ Vector3.Scale(target.transform.InverseTransformPoint (targetpos+target.position),*_
 _*target.lossyScale)) - transform.position);*_
 _*transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards (*_
 _*transform.rotation, targetrotation,*_ 
 <em>_turnspeeddeg * Time.deltaTime);_</em>
_*```*_
_*<p>I think the main problem is located in the target rotation section as I cant seam to find the right method of transforming the local position to the world position.</p>*_

I Think I was over engineering the problem. The whole thing is simplified by using the spheres local position as the heading with a simple offset for random position within said sphere

//Start()
Transform c = target.FindChild ("ColSpheres");
if (c != null) 
{       
    List<Transform> scd = new List<Transform>();
    foreach (Transform s in c) 
    {
        scd.Add(s);
    }
    int i = scd.Count;
    int rands = Random.Range (0, i);
    Bounds b = (scd[rands].GetComponent (typeof(SphereCollider)) as SphereCollider).bounds;
    subtarget = scd[rands].transform;
    targetpos = Random.insideUnitSphere * b.extents.magnitude;
    Debug.Log((targetpos).ToString());
}
else
    subtarget = target;
//Update()
Quaternion targetrotation = Quaternion.LookRotation ((subtarget.position + targetpos) - transform.position);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards (transform.rotation, targetrotation, turnspeeddeg * Time.deltaTime);
