sprites arrays

in this NewBoss script there is 20 panels in game scene.
there is also 20 sprites in this script and i set them in the game scene too.

each time that game runs , every panel will show one of those sprites randomly.
that means there are 20 panels , there are 20 sprites , so every panel will show 1 sprites. but each time game runs each panel shows a different sprite.

however , now i have got 20 sprites more.now totally i have got 40 sprites. but still 20 panels. panel will stay 20 always.

can someone please tell me how to add these new 20 sprites to the rest and totally to have 40 sprites in code?
so that after that , each panel randomly shows from 40 sprites rather than 20.
here is my script. thanks.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class NewBoss : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public List<Sprite> m_AllItems = new List<Sprite>();
4.     public RectTransform[] m_AllPanels;
5.     public RectTransform[] m_IngameItems;
6.  
7.  
8.     void Start()
9.     {
10.         m_ItemContainer.gameObject.SetActive(false);
11.  
12.     }

 

In Editor select the GameObject that has the NewBoss Script. Toggle the little lock symbol on top, so that it stays selected in the inspector. Select the new sprites you want to use. Drag them onto the m_AllItems List. Now the List contains the previously added sprites and the newly added sprites. Your code does not show the relevant parts, to be honest. But I guess it will just randomly pick an item from the m_AllItems-List.

 

Your code is generating a random number from 0 to the total number of isntantitated objects of m_AllItems at
int nextItem = Random.Range(0, m_AllItems.Count);
So there is nothing to fix as far as I can see, just make sure to check at runtime if your object really have the 40 objects assigned to it in the inspector.

 

Sorry but I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding what's going on exactly. Could you make a video and try to put in simple words what's expected and what's happening?

 

so i change the way i have questioned . i hope this one make senses to you!
there is a list in which there are 20 member. this is called all items.
there is an array of panels which has also 20 member. this is all panels.

there is another array which has 20 member and referes to thumbnail picture of the list. this is called in game items A.
now i have created a new array for in game items . it is called in game items B.

how can i say in the code , sometimes randomly choose and show from in game itemsA and sometimes from in game itemsB?
and in the future from array in game items C and...

Wouldn't that just be something like:

Code (csharp):

1. if (Random.Range(0,100) < 50) {
2.    // pick from itemsA
3. } else {
4.    // pick from itemsB
5. }

 

can be, as i am so beginner, would you please take a look at that class and specify how can i make that panel length change? if somewhere you have question , please let me know it . thanks.

 

in a very simple way :
you had 20 sprites. you have 20 panels. each panels show randomly one sprite.
now you have 40 sprites. you have 20 panels. how randomly each time , each panel a sprite from those 40 sprites?

 

please help me !

 

Can you pick the same sprite twice or no?

If yes, just pick one and be done with it.

If no, then I'd duplicate your list, and each time you get a sprite to show, remove it from the duplicated list.
That's it.

 

the best solution ! thanks!
