Question by TurboHermit · May 23, 2012 at 09:12 AM · gameobjectarrayposition

Position Array

I've asked this question before, but I still can't really figure it out. Arrays are one of my biggest weaknesses.

I've got an array with objects in it. I want another array to store their Z positions, so later on I can move them back to those positions. I can't figure out how to do this, if someone could make an example script, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance, Daan

I hope you are trying this. Try this:

 var a = new Array(A : GameObject,b : GameObject,c : GameObject);
 var b = new Array(40,50,60);
 function Update(){
 a[0].transform.position.z = b[0];
 a[1].transform.position.z = b[1];
 a[2].transform.position.z = b[2];

}

But that means I'll manually take every single item in the array, which kinda beats the function of an array, right? If have threehundred objects in that array... I must copy that line threehundred times... That doesn't seem effecient.

Then you have to use a for-loop like this:


for ( int i = 0; i < a.length; ++i ) {
    a[i].transform.position.z = b[i];
}

I do not know the name in Javascript, but there should be a field that tells you the length of your array.

I believe arrays in JavaScript are completely different, so I don't really know how to convert this =P

What do you want to convert this to?

Well I'd like to implement this in my main script, which is in JavaScript.
