How can I fill an image array with a script
Im trying to automatically fill an image array that represents health.
The line "Hearts = GameObject.findGameObjectswithtag("Hearts")" gives me an error saying it can't convert an image array to a gameobject array. What is the UI equivalent of this?
Best Answer
GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag() returns an array of GameObjects, so you could store that array and then loop through each gameobject, getting it's Image component to get your array of images, it'll look something like this:
Using UnityEngine.UI;
private Image[] GetHearts() {
// Get the heart objects
GameObject[] heartObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Hearts");
// Declare an array of hearts with the amount of hearts present
Image[] hearts = new Image[heartObjects.Length];
// Loop through the hearts, adding each image component to the array
for (int i = 0; i < hearts.Length; i++) {
hearts[i] = heartObjects.GetComponent<Image>();
}
// Return the hearts array
return hearts;
}
Image[] hearts = GetHearts();
You'll probably need to change a few things to make it work with your code but the general idea should fit. Hope I could help :)
Ah thanks, I was forgetting that Image refers to the component and not the actual object
