Closest array element
Why is this not working? I am trying to find the closest child.
public GameObject test;
public Transform[] nodes;
public GameObject closest;
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
nodes = test.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
nodes [0] = nodes [nodes.Length - 1];
float dist = Vector3.Distance (transform.position, nodes[0].position);
for(int i=0;i<nodes.Length;i++){
float curDist = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, nodes[i].position);
if(curDist < dist){
closest = nodes[i].gameObject;
}
}
}
Best Answer
You need to update 'dist' as well as 'closest':
if(curDist < dist){
closest = nodes[i].gameObject;
dist = curdist;
}
As the for loop can start at 1 rather than 0.
Thank you so much! I completely derped out! :P I forgot all about the dist! THAN$$anonymous$$ YOU! :D
