What's the error it's showing?

Unity is different from regular .NET

Patrick•6/6/23, 5:40 PM

you should be referring to Unity specific randomness, since .NET's doesn't directly apply here, https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

multishepOP•6/6/23, 5:40 PM

sorry i have no clue what that means XD what is .NET

multishepOP•6/6/23, 5:41 PM

it says cannot declare a variable of static type "Random"

Patrick•6/6/23, 5:42 PM

Please read the page i linked you, it has an example as well.

So i use random.range?

Mmultishep it says cannot declare a variable of static type "Random"

Random is a static class. This means, among other things, that you can't create variables which have the type RandomRandom, and you can't do new Random()new Random().

i got the code online

Mmultishep So i use random.range?

Patrick•6/6/23, 5:44 PM

you should use the single instance of RandomRandom unity has implemented, yes

Patrick•6/6/23, 5:44 PM

as per their instructions

multishepOP•6/6/23, 5:44 PM

alr thanks ill try change it

Mmultishep i got the code online

Thinker•6/6/23, 5:44 PM

You likely got the code from somewhere outside the context of Unity. Unity is very different from 'regular' C#.
