Question

It seems easy enough, but I might be over-complicating things... (again).

Basically, I'm trying to make a function that will replace a GameObject with one that is either next or previous in a list of GameObjects. I couldn't fully understand the few methods in the MSDN reference I thought that would help (IndexOf, FindIndex, etc).

Psuedo Code:

List<GameObject> hats;
GameObject hat;

void ChooseNextHat()
{
    hat = GetNextObject(hats); //Return the next hat in the list
}

GameObject GetNextObject(List<GameObject> equipment)
{
    GameObject e = equipment.AFunctionThatReturnsTheNextIndexedObject++;
    return newEquip;
}

I believe I found a way:

void LoadHat(int index)
{
      int counter = 0;
      hatIndex = index;

      //Check the hat array. I need my hat!!!
      foreach(GameObject h in hats)
      {
         if (counter == hatIndex)
         {
            hat = h;
            return; //Stop, we got the right hat
         }
         counter++; //Still don't have the hat, run it again  ლ(ಠ益ಠლ
      }
}

Um wouldn't that be easier as:

  void LoadHat(int index)
  {
       head = hats[index];
  }

Yeah, I neglected to remember that a list is like an array :P

var selectedNumber :int;
var Hats = List ;
var selectedHat :GameObject;

function ChooseNextHat() {
selectedHat = Hats[selectedNumber + 1];
selectedNumber ++;
}

function ChooseLastHat(){
selectedHat = Hats[selectedNumber - 1];
selectedNumber --;
}

This should do it. I haven't tested it yet
