random range/if conditions?

Questions & Answers

Hello. How can I use Random.Range(#,#) in combination with an if statement? So I can do something like

(Random.Range(1, 10); if =1 {something} if =2 {something else} if =2 {something else} ...

Thanks

`Random.Range(a,b)` returns a number between the two endpoint numbers `a` (inclusive) and `b`, (exclusive). This means, it will return anything between `a, a+1, a+2 ... b-2, b-1`

To use it, you will want to assign a variable `var rand:int=Random.Range(1,10);`, and then, compare it to the various possibilities in your if then. `if(rand==1)doSomething(); else if (rand==2)doAnotherThing();` etc.

You may also wish to use `if(rand>1)` and comparison operators for entire ranges of numbers.

You can also use a switch statement.

var randomNumber:int = Random.Range(0, 2);

switch(randomNumber){

case 0:
//Do this, do that
break;

case 1:
//Do this, do that
break;

case 2:
//Do this, do that
break; }
