Question

I currently have the following:

public List<GameObject> myWalls;

And in the unity property inspactor script definition area I have:

My Walls
Element 0: Wall1
Element 1: Wall2
Element 2: Wall3

Now I would like to create these objects in code as I need to pass into them some parameter. How can I do this in code? In other words how can I initialize the myWalls list with the gameobjects Wall1, Wall2 and Wall3?

Answer 1

0

var myWall1=Instantiate(myWalls[0],somePosition,someRotation);

//Do something with myWall1....

thanks for taking the time to reply but I am not sure this answer is what I am looking for. What I would like to do is eliminate the need to define Element 0, 1 and 2 in the inspector. I want to do everything in code.

Something like

myWalls[0] = ??; myWalls[1] = ??; myWalls[2] = ??;

You can use Resources.Load or LoadAll and cycle through the elements to fill your list

Object[] arr = Resources.LoadAll("SomethingAtSomePath");
for(i:int=0;i<arr.Length;i++)myWalls.Add(arr[i]);

maybe something like that?

I normally type unityscript so i apologize if i made some mistakes in syntax... i think it may be system object (lower case) rather than the JavaScript equivalent Uppercase Object. and you can use a for each type loop

for( obj in arr ) myWalls.Add( ( DownCast ) obj );

Sorry my C# is rusty

Thanks. I will try this out and mark if it worked okay which I think it will :-)
