Question by HundretZero · Oct 22, 2014 at 07:38 AM · arraypositionvector3index

How can i get the index of an array[] as int?

hello!

i got an array of Vector3[] and i would like to get specific Vector3s of this array by knowing their array number as int. how can i get this number?

for example, a gameobject has 3 positions (3 different Vector3 positionVec). when elsewhere an int position is set to 1, i want to target the positionVec[1], and if position is set to 2, i want to target positionVec[2] and so on!

thanks in advance for your help.

You will have to search for through some mechanism.

  • Iterate through the array using a for() loop

  • Use System.Array.IndexOf()

  • Put it in a generic List and use List.IndexOf()

  • Use LINQ

There is also a LINQ tutorial on www.unitygems.com.

Depending on where you get the values for comparison, you may want to compare the distance between the Vector3s rather than a direct comparison.
