Random.Range

Question

if i set mindrop to 0 and maxdrop to 3.
if i do.
int dropamount = random.range(mindrop,maxdrop)
i always get 0 1 or 2 as result. what am i doing wrong

Answer 1

maxdrop is exclusive.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

public static int Range(int min, int max);
Description

Returns a random integer number between min [inclusive] and max [exclusive] (Read Only).

Note that max is exclusive, so using Random.Range( 0, 10 ) will return values between 0 and 9. If max equals min, min will be returned.

Answer 2

If you are looking for a whole number from 0 to 3 (inclusive), increase the maxDrop by 1.

Random.Range(minDrop, maxDrop + 1);

As @sneeze explains, you need to do this because maxDrop is exclusive.

Answer 3

cheers both

Answer 4

try this,
int dropamount=random.range(mindrop,maxdrop+1);
