Make my script play random animations

Hello.

I have a scrip "JS" here that makes "Fire1" "Fire2" play attack animations, but i want to use Fire2 for other things.
So i need Fire1 to randomly play different attack animations when clicking the button, but how?

Here is the code that works just fine how it is atm.

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2. var charController:CharacterController ;
3.  
4. private var isAttacking : boolean ;
5. function Start (){
6.  
7. animation.wrapMode = WrapMode.Loop;
8. animation["attack2"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
9. animation["attack2"].layer = 1;
10.  
11. animation["attack1"].wrapMode = WrapMode.Once;
12. animation["attack1"].layer = 2;
13. animation.Stop();
14. }
15. function Update(){
16. if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")){
17.     isAttacking = true ;
18.     slash() ;
19.     isAttacking = false ;
20.     }
21.    
22. if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire2")){
23.     isAttacking = true ;
24.     slash2() ;
25.     isAttacking = false ;
26.     }
27. }
28. function slash(){
29. animation.CrossFade("attack2");
30. Debug.Log("isAttacking1 is" + isAttacking);
31. }
32.  
33. function slash2(){
34. animation.CrossFade("attack1");
35. Debug.Log("isAttacking2 is" + isAttacking);
36. }

 

Couldn't you use a random number generator to choose an attack function?
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

Code (JavaScript):

1. var rand = Random.Range(0,1); //this will return a 0 or 1
2. if(rand == 0)
3. {
4.      slash();
5. }
6. else{
7.      slash2();
8. }
9.  

 

Thanks for your reply!
But of some reason only the first animation plays, idk if it is the code or if it is me who place it in the wrong way?

Take a look (shows no errors)

Code (JavaScript):

1. function Update(){
2. var rand = Random.Range(0,1); //this will return a 0 or 1
3. if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
4. if(rand == 0)
5.     {
6.      slash();
7.     }
8.     else
9.     {
10.      slash2();
11.     }

 

I could be wrong but I think Random.Range returns max value -1 when used with ints.

Have you tried

Code (JavaScript):

1. var rand = Random.Range(0,2)

to see if that works as you want?

 

Yes that helped. Thanks!
But i think the animations for my character is to slow for a script like this, if i press 2 times when the first animation plays, i see half way in the first animation that the second animation tries to takes over so it just look weird. and if i press 1 time each second, i only see the first animation.

maybe i need to use "queue" or some sort of a timer?

EDIT:

Now i have done it in this way, but i need something so that each animations plays 100% before the next one plays, so they dont brake other animations while playing.

Code (JavaScript):

1. function Update(){
2.  
3. var randomNumber:int = Random.Range(0, 4);
4. if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
5. switch(randomNumber)
6. {
7.     case 0:
8.     isAttacking = true ;
9.     slash1() ;
10.     isAttacking = false ;
11.     break;
12.    
13.     case 1:
14.     isAttacking = true ;
15.     slash2() ;
16.     isAttacking = false ;
17.     break;
18.    
19.     case 2:
20.     isAttacking = true ;
21.     slash3() ;
22.     isAttacking = false ;
23.     break;
24.    
25.     /**case 3:
26.     isAttacking = true ;
27.     slash4() ;
28.     isAttacking = false ;
29.     break;**/
30.    
31.     case 3:
32.     isAttacking = true ;
33.     slash3() ;
34.     isAttacking = false ;
35.     break;  
36.            
37.  
38. }  
39. if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftControl))
40.     animation.CrossFade("taunt");
41.     }
42. function slash1(){
43. animation.CrossFade("attack2");
44. Debug.Log("isAttacking1 is" + isAttacking);
45. }
46.  
47. function slash2(){
48. animation.CrossFade("attack1");
49. Debug.Log("isAttacking2 is" + isAttacking);
50. }
51.  
52. function slash3(){
53. animation.CrossFade("attack3");
54. Debug.Log("isAttacking1 is" + isAttacking);
55. }
56.  
57. /**function slash4(){
58. animation.CrossFade("attack4");
59. Debug.Log("isAttacking2 is" + isAttacking);
60. }**/
61.  
62. function slash5(){
63. animation.CrossFade("attack5");
64. Debug.Log("isAttacking2 is" + isAttacking);
65. }
