Question by NickCh · Dec 14, 2012 at 05:37 PM · arrays

Problem with Arrays

Hey guys, I want to make a switch script, where when the player presses the switch the lights will turn on and off.But the complicated part is when you press the switch not just one , but more than one lights will turn off. I tried to make a variable of type GameObject like : `var lights : GameObject[];` and then on the Update function i wrote `lights[].light.enabled = false (or true);` But that wouldn't work of course.I thought of making a loop with an i for just 10 lights , for testing purposes so i did something like

`for(i=0;i<11 lights[i].light.enabled = false (or true) ;` But it said Array out of Index... How can I enable and disable all the GameObjects from my array?

If you don't know the number of lights at all, but set them on the editor, best practice is to use:

 for (var light : GameObject in lights) {
     // do anything with current light here
  }

You have 10 lights? Then you want i<10, as your lights are filling up lights[0] to lights[9].
