Instantiating 3 different types of objects at random?

Hey there,

Can anyone please help me, My following code will only instantiate the building1 and repeat it over and over again, that is perfect but I would like the Instantiate to randomly pick 1 of the 3 buildings that I have in my scene and load that and so on and so forth.

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. var building1 : GameObject;
3. var building2 : GameObject; // 2nd Building that I would like to also Instantiate
4. var building3 : GameObject; // 3rd Building that I would like to also Instantiate
5.  
6.  
7. private var CreateTimer = 2;
8. private var NextCreate = 0.0;
9. private var count = 0;
10.  
11. function Update()
12. {
13.   if(Time.time > CreateTimer + NextCreate)
14.   {
15.     NextCreate = Time.time;
16.     for (var i : int = 0;i < 1; i++)
17.     {
18.       count++;
19.    
20.            Instantiate (building1, Vector3 (count * 256, 252, 10), Quaternion.identity);
21.        
22.     }
23.   }
24. }

I hope someone can point me in the right direction thanks!

 

Not really tested, but you could do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. var building1 : GameObject;
2. var building2 : GameObject; // 2nd Building that I would like to also Instantiate
3. var building3 : GameObject; // 3rd Building that I would like to also Instantiate
4.  
5. var buildings = new Array();
6. private var CreateTimer = 2;
7. private var NextCreate = 0.0;
8. private var count = 0;
9. function Start()
10. {
11.     buildings.push(building1);
12.     buildings.push(building2);
13.     buildings.push(building3);
14. }
15. function Update()
16. {
17.   if(Time.time > CreateTimer + NextCreate)
18.   {
19.     NextCreate = Time.time;
20.     for (var i : int = 0;i < 1; i++)
21.     {
22.       count++;
23.  
24.            Instantiate (buildings[Random.Range[0,buildings.length], Vector3 (count * 256, 252, 10), Quaternion.identity);
25.      
26.     }
27.   }
28. }
29.  

 

Cool Thanks I will have a look at it today

 

This might work better will allow any number of random buildings. Also removed the for loop as it is not doing anything.

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2.  
3. var buildings : GameObject[];
4. private var CreateTimer = 2;
5. private var NextCreate = 0.0;
6. private var count = 0;
7. function Update()
8. {
9.   if(Time.time > CreateTimer + NextCreate)
10.   {
11.       NextCreate = Time.time;
12.       Instantiate (buildings[Random.Range(0,buildings.Length)], Vector3 (count * 256, 252, 10), Quaternion.identity);
13.       count++;
14.   }
15. }

 

That's cool thank you guys for the help it worked good and I understand how it works now. Cheers!
