Question by DamonK · Sep 05, 2011 at 02:38 PM · arrayvector3sort

Trying to get Vector3 Array to sort in order of Y values - C sharp

I am currently in the process of converting a project from javascript into C sharp, this is the only problem I have had so far. Here is the code I have:

 public class SpawnObjects : MonoBehaviour {
     public int numberOfHills = 10;
     private Vector3[] aPos;
 
     void Start() {
         aPos = new Vector3[numberOfHills];
         Array.Sort(aPos, delegate(Vector3 first, Vector3 second){
         return first.y.CompareTo(second.y);
         });

And the error I recieve: error CS0103: The name Array' does not exist in the current context*** Also if I change the code to: public class SpawnObjects : MonoBehaviour { public int numberOfHills = 10; private Vector3[] aPos; void Start() { aPos = new Vector3[numberOfHills]; aPos.Sort(aPos, delegate(Vector3 first, Vector3 second){ return first.y.CompareTo(second.y); }); I recieve: > ***error CS0176: Static member System.Array.Sort (UnityEngine.Vector3[], System.Comparison )' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead

Can anyone shed some light on whats happening? Cheers.

I don't know what namespaces you are using, but Array exists in the System namespace and that is not included by default. You might just need to add:

 using System;

to the top of your script. Or you can include the namespace when you call Sort()

  System.Array.Sort();

Compiler Error CS0103
