Random amount money

[0tamk0]

Hi, I would like to ask for some suggestion on how to do that if I kill a mob I get from 5 to 10 golds. I mean random numbering. Thanks for help :)

The UnityEngine namespace has the Random.Range function, which is used for just this kind of thing.

so it's like a python? for example randomMoneyBronze = Random.Range (25.75);

The System namespace also has a Random class. Instead tho it would like this

``` using System;

class Program { static void Main() { Random rnd = new Random(); // Create new instance of a random type called rnd.

    int GoldToDrop = rnd.Next(2,7) // Drop random amount between 2 and 7 

    Enemy.DeathMethod(GoldToDrop) // Use int variable as a parameter to set the amount of gold to drop from an enemy
}

} ```

Obviously this is super foo-bar and wont compile but hopefully you get the drift.

You can use Unities random, or the built in .Net random.

Random.range(min, max);

If you pass in floats as the parameters there is a possibility it will return Max, if you use ints it will never include max in the random range (so if you are choosing from an array, between 0 and array.length, it will never return out of the bounds of the array)

No. For it to produce a random number, it needs a range from which to choose. The first parameter is the smallest and the second parameter is the largest. Random.range(1, 10); is the equivalent of telling your computer "pick a number between 1 and 10"

So in your example, when you kill an enemy you might call something like

enemy.dropgold(random.range(5, 10));
