Finding the index of a gameobject by name
Hi, Excuse my foolishness. I'm trying to make it so that the player enters a string and if a gameobject by that name exists, we'll instantiate it. I did the following but of course it doesn't work. I wasn't able to find anything related to this (could be my fault) and I'd like to ask you guys for help.
public string name;
public GameObject inputField;
public List<GameObject> objects;
int object_index;
public Transform player;
public void Creator_Input()
{
name = inputField.GetComponent<Text>().text;
Debug.Log(name);
int indexofcreation = objects.IndexOf(name);
Instantiate(objects[0], new Vector3(player.position.x, player.position.y, player.position.z - 2), Quaternion.identity);
}
public Text inputField; // Drag & drop the gameObject with the Text component in the inspector
public List<GameObject> objects;
public Transform player;
public void Creator_Input()
{
int objectIndex = objects.FindIndex(gameObject => string.Equals(inputField.text, gameObject.name));
if(objectIndex >= 0)
Instantiate(objects[objectIndex], new Vector3(player.position.x, player.position.y, player.position.z - 2), Quaternion.identity);
}
It underlines the "FindIndex" and says " The type arguments for method "Array.FindIndex(T[], Predicate )" cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type of arguments explicitly.
$$anonymous$$y bad, I don't know why I used this method since objects is a List.... Code fixed
Well that fixed the error in the code but now when I try and execute the function. It says " Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I know that I keep bugging you but I really need help :p
