Troubleshooting Unity Crashes: Infinite Loops in Random Number Selection

When working with Unity, encountering a crash during gameplay can be frustrating—especially when it seems to stem from an infinite loop. One common scenario involves trying to implement a random number picker that selects numbers within a defined range while avoiding repetitions. In this guide, we will explore this issue and how to resolve it effectively.

The Problem: Infinite Loops

You may have attempted to create a random number picker that selects numbers from 0 to 29, ensuring that once a number is picked, it cannot be selected again until every other number in the range has been used. However, the code is likely running into problems that cause Unity to freeze, specifically due to an infinite loop that is difficult to identify.

What Causes the Infinite Loop?

In your code, there are key areas that create conditions for an infinite loop:

The outer while loop condition might not be updating correctly.

Failure to progress if a number is continuously repeated could cause the inner loop to run indefinitely.

The Solution: Updated Code Implementation

Below is the revised version of your code, which addresses the infinite loop and the logic required for the random number selection. We've made several important changes that you need to pay attention to:

Updated Code

Key Changes Explained

Array Initialization: The array ews30 is initialized correctly, ensuring that it can store selected numbers properly.

Control Structure: The outer loop checks for minuslength < 30, maintaining a clear condition for when the number selection should stop.

Innermost Logic: By breaking out of the inner loop early when a duplicate is found (break;), we prevent unnecessary iterations that hold up the process.

Conclusion

Coding in Unity can be challenging, but understanding how to troubleshoot issues like infinite loops is crucial. By applying the correction techniques outlined in this post, you can enhance your implementation of a random number picker while also preventing Unity from crashing unexpectedly.

If you encounter further issues or have questions about any of the steps outlined above, feel free to let us know. Happy coding in Unity!
