How to campare gameObject.name with string when gameObject have additional numbers or words?
public GameObject myObject;
public string myObjectStringName;
if(myObject.name == myObjectStringName)
{
}
The problem is in additional words, like object count numbers or information about clone. For example myObject(111) or myObject(clone) is not equal "myObject" string cause contains additional words.
You'll want to research the documentation on C# string comparison functions. The details are beyond the scope of a post (though I'm known to go on and on :)...
Basically, you're either looking for String.StartsWith or String.IndexOf, both of which match substrings. StartWith would find myObject in myObject(111) or myObject(clone). IndexOf would find myObject inside anothermyObject.
You'll also find case insensitive matching, as well as linguistic (sound alike) and a wide range of other string matching features to suit just about any need along these lines.
Use this
public GameObject myObject;
public string myObjectString;
string tempMyObjectString;
tempMyObjectString = myObject.name.Substring (0,8);
if(tempMyObjectString == myObjectString)
{
}
by doing so you will be shrinking the "myObject" name and removing the data after 8 characters and thus if both Objects have same 8 characters the if statement will be true!
