Using variables inside a GameObject[] array
Hello fellow programmers,
I'm trying to use a class inside my GameObject[] array so I can access them in the inspector however, I'm not entirely sure how to do that, right now what I got is something like the following: 
However I would like to achieve something like this: 
This is the base of my code right now:
[System.Serializable]
public class tiles
{
public GameObject[] Plants;
public GameObject[] Trees;
public GameObject[] Rocks;
}
[System.Serializable]
public class tileFunctions
{
public bool isInteractive; //can u click on it and do things with it?
public bool isUsed; //is it on cooldown after use?
public int maxReceivings; //if gathered how many items max
}
I would like to use the tileFunctions inside Plants, Trees and Rocks. So that I could use them as follows for example: groundTiles[0].Plants[0].isUsed
Thanks! Regards, Shady.
Assuming you have Plant, Tree, and Rock classes (that each inherit from monoBehaviour), you might get more mileage from keeping arrays of the specific types instead of gameObjects.
[System.Serializable]
public class tiles
{
public Plant[] Plants;
public Tree[] Trees;
public Rock[] Rocks;
}
Then in your Plant object, for example, you can have a tileFunctions object like:
public class Plant : MonoBehaviour
{
public tileFunctions tile_funcs;
}
and you can access this in code as:
tiles.Plants[2].tile_funcs.isUsed = true; //Example
Although that may give you what you're asking for, it's not really the unity way AFAIK. Really, your TileFunctions should be a MonoBehaviour. And then you add your TileFunction component/script to your Plant.
