Transform array help
My original post was closed before I could ask this so I am creating a new one. http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/464315/how-to-create-an-array-of-transforms.html
I tried using several of the suggestions and am having issues. Any insight in to what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
I tried using:
var _targets : Transform[];
But when I tried to drag and drop my corner game objects on to the elements in the inspector it will not take them. In other words I have the AI script on my enemy game object prefab. It has the AI script on it which has the variable _targets. I adjust the target size to 4. Then try to drag and drop the corner gameobjects on it.
How do I drag and drop the transform of a game object on to this in the inspector?
I also tried to do this manually in the script. I tried using.
var balls : ArrayList;
function Start()
{
balls = new ArrayList();
}
function Update()
{
cornerOne= GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner1");
cornerTwo= GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner2");
cornerThree= GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner3");
cornerFour= GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner4");
corner1 = cornerOne.transform;
corner2 = cornerTwo.transform;
corner3 = cornerThree.transform;
corner4 = cornerFour.transform;
balls.Add(corner1);
balls.Add(corner2);
balls.Add(corner3);
balls.Add(corner4);
}
However when I try to print whats in my array called balls. It just says "System.Collections.ArrayList". It does not list any of the transforms I added to the array.
I am sure I have the context wrong but I am at a loss for where I am going wrong..
Have you tried ragging it on the name, not the length variable? Because that definitely works!!!
Assuming you know the size ahead of time the size will be 4, you can do:
private var balls : Transform[];
function Start() {
balls = new Transform[4];
}
function Update() {
balls[0] = GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner1").transform;
balls[1] = GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner2").transform;
balls[2] = GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner3").transform;
balls[3] = GameObject.FindWithTag ("corner4").transform;
}
If the number of entries is variable, consider using a List (Generic), not an ArrayList.
