Randomise the position of answers in buttons for question?

Hi Unity Answers,

Is there away where I can make the answers to the question below appear in different positions randomly because at the moment every time the question appears on screen the answers are in the same position. Can it be incorporated into my code without many changes?

Someone posted about Lists but I'm not sure how to use them in my code without errors, so could someone show me how to do this please!

All help, suggestions and ideas welcome. Thanks.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using System.Collections;
5. using UnityEngine.UI;
6.  
7. public class Question1 : MonoBehaviour {
8.    
9.     private Rect windowRect = new Rect (500, 100, 400, 200); //Window size
10.     public bool question1;
11.     private int count;
12.     public Text countText;
13.     private bool showTimer = true;
14.     private float Timer = 10f;
15.     public AudioSource countdownAudio;
16.     public AudioSource correctanswerAudio;
17.     public AudioSource wronganswerAudio;
18.     private List<string> answers = new List<string>{"1976", "1986", "1996", "1996"};
19.    
20.    
21.    
22.     void start()
23.     {
24.         count = 0;
25.         SetCountText ();
26.     }
27.    
28.    
29.     void FixedUpdate(){
30.         if (showTimer == true) {
31.             Timer -= Time.deltaTime;
32.         }
33.        
34.         if (Timer <= 0f) {
35.             showTimer = false;
36.             Timer = 10f;
37.             Destroy (this.gameObject);
38.            
39.         }
40.     }
41.    
42.    
43.     void OnGUI(){
44.         {
45.             windowRect = GUI.Window (0, windowRect, WindowFunction, "Ebola Quiz Island"); //window on screen
46.         }
47.     }
48.    
49.    
50.     void WindowFunction (int windowID)
51.     {
52.        
53.        
54.         GUI.Label (new Rect (30, 25, 200, 50), " What year did Ebola begin?"); // Question
55.        
56.         if (GUI.Button (new Rect (20, 100, 100, 30), "1976")) // Correct Answer
57.         {
58.             AudioSource source = countdownAudio.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
59.             source.mute = true;
60.             correctanswerAudio.Play();
61.             Destroy (this.gameObject);
62.             count = count += 1;
63.             SetCountText ();
64.            
65.         }
66.        
67.         if (GUI.Button (new Rect (280, 100, 100, 30), "1986")) //Wrong answer
68.         {
69.             AudioSource source = countdownAudio.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
70.             source.mute = !source.mute;
71.             wronganswerAudio.Play();
72.             Destroy (this.gameObject);
73.         }
74.        
75.         if (GUI.Button (new Rect (20, 150, 100, 30), "1996")) // wrong answer
76.         {
77.             AudioSource source = countdownAudio.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
78.             source.mute = !source.mute;
79.             wronganswerAudio.Play();
80.             Destroy (this.gameObject);
81.         }
82.        
83.         if (GUI.Button (new Rect (280, 150, 100, 30), "1966")) // wrong answer
84.         {
85.             AudioSource source = countdownAudio.GetComponent<AudioSource>();
86.             source.mute = !source.mute;
87.             wronganswerAudio.Play();
88.             Destroy (this.gameObject);
89.         }
90.        
91.         if (showTimer == true)
92.         {
93.             GUI.Label (new Rect (300, 25, 200, 50), "Timer: " + Timer.ToString ("F0"));
94.            
95.         }
96.        
97.        
98.        
99.     }
100.    
101.     void SetCountText()
102.     {
103.         ValuesHolder.answersCount++;
104.         countText.text = "Score: " + ValuesHolder.answersCount.ToString();
105.     }
106.    
107.    
108. }
109.  

 

Put your answers in a list than use Random.Range with the lists length, get the question you want using the result of Random.Range as the index. Than remove the element you just got from the list using RemoveAt method of the list. Rinse and repeat till you got all the answers you want.

 

Thanks for you reply, not sure how to do what you said, could you please post an example?
