Instantiate ScriptableObject with a random asset from List

Hey,

I’m new at ScriptablObjects (“SO”) so my question might be basic.

I have a Patient SO. This Patient contains another SO wich is a Disease SO.

I’d like to generate a Patient with a random Disease picked from a List of Diseases (like a database).

Here’s some pseudocode :

public class emergencyRoom : MonoBehaviour {

    public List<Patient> patients;
    public List<Disease> diseases;

    public int availableRoomsNumber = 6;

void Start () {

//here I'd like to fetch all the assets made from Disease SO,
// something like :
    //diseases = AssetDatabase.Get........  

        for(int i = 1; i < availableRoomsNumber; i++)
        {
//here I create a new Patient instance from Patient SO, and put it in the list of patients.
        Patient newPatient = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Patient>();
        patients.Add(newPatient);
               
//assign a random disease from the SO disease list.
            patient.Disease = disease[Random.Range(0, disease.Count)]
        }

Thank you very much for your help,
I am really looking forward to mastering SO

ScriptableObjects need to be instantiated:

Patient newPatient = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Patient>();
