Array of GameObjects - JS
Hi, i have a question here about Arrays.
I have two variables
var itemsSlots : GameObject[];
var itemsListArray : Array;
there are three prefab items in itemsSlot which i added in the Inspector.
When i am calling this function
function SomeFunction() {
for(var i = 0; i < itemsSlots.Length; i++) {
print("for loop = " + itemsSlots[i]);
itemsListArray.Add(i);
}
}
what exactly am i storing in itemsListArray.Add(i) ? Is it only number of items in itemsSlots in this case 3 ? Therefore i can refer to those objects only as to integers. And if yes how can i store and retrieve the actual object originally added in the Inspector.
What are you planning on doing with the game objects? If you just want to be able to access them you really don't need the itemsListArray at all. You can just reference the itemsSlots game objects directly.
The answer to your question is that you will have 1, 2, 3 in your itemsListArray. This seems kind of odd that you would need an array full of integers. Those integers don't really help you get to the game objects.
Maybe if you explain what you are trying to do we can help you better.
i want to create a Loot window which will generate those 3 items as a loot in a form of GUI buttons and if clicked move this item into the inventory. For the loot window i have got this function
function Loot
for(var _cnt : int = 0; _cnt < itemsListArray.Count; _cnt++) {
if(GUI.Button(new Rect(5 + (buttonWidth * _cnt), 5, buttonWidth, buttonHeight),itemIcon)) {
print("clicked on item " + itemsListArray[_cnt]);
player = GameObject.FindWithTag ("Player");
var items : SomeScript = player.GetComponent(SomeScript);
items.AddItem(itemsListArray[_cnt]);
itemsListArray.RemoveAt(_cnt);
I thought that i must store all prefabs in new array and then iterate through this Array to create that many buttons and move those prefabs into the inventory Do you understand what i am trying to say ?
dammit, I just clicked delete ins$$anonymous$$d of edit, sorry. So, I think I said something like :
I agree with the answer, but if you want to store items in a list to add and remove inventory items from, definitely check out this link for information on using all different types of collection methods : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=Which_$$anonymous$$ind_Of_Array_Or_Collection_Should_I_Use?
#pragma strict
// to use List
import System.Collections.Generic;
var itemsSlots : GameObject[];
var itemsListArray : List.< GameObject >;
function SomeFunction()
{
itemsListArray = new List.< GameObject >();
for(var i = 0; i < itemsSlots.Length; i++)
{
Debug.Log( i + " for loop = " + itemsSlots[i] );
// add the ITE$$anonymous$$ to the List
itemsListArray.Add( itemsSlots[i] );
}
}
Cool stuff i got the item in my Debug.Log so i am storing all my items now.
In another script i have a function AddItem which is adding this item from loot to inventory and it takes one parameter type of an int. I am calling this function through GetComponent and i tried to use a List as a parameter but it did not work, i changed List to a GameObject and it seems to work now.
Great help, thank you
