Searching a List of GameObjects by name
So I have a list of gameObjects, how would I efficiently get the gameObject with a name?
For example
List<GameObject> list = new <GameObject>();
GameObject temp = list.Find("Sword");
Best Answer
Just use loop:
for(int i=0; i<list.Count; i++){
if(list[i].name == "Sword") {
temp = list[i];
break;
}
}
can't think of a more efficient way.
Good and simple solution. If you looking for one GameObject, break the for cycle once you found.
Easily done using Linq:
using System.Linq;
GameObject temp = list.Where(obj => obj.name == "Sword").SingleOrDefault();
This will return your game object if found. Otherwise, null. You have to import System.Linq though.
You can use .ToList() ins$$anonymous$$d of SingleOrDefault() and that will return a collection of all objects named "Sword"
