I have a list of buttons which is created by reading all the objects in an array. This works. But now I want to move the camera target to the transform.position of the object that is related to the clicked button. So if the label of the button says "ObjectX", I want to move the camera target to ObjectX.transform.position.

've been working with gameObject.Find and Transform.Find but I can not get it to work. The code below generates a nullReferenceException. I think I'm doing something wrong with gameObject.Find(toString).transform.position. Basically I need to find the object named as stored in toString (or CreateObjectList01.listOfObjects[i]) (I tried both into the gameObject.Find() but it didn't work) and get it's position coordinates which is a Vector3 I presume.

for (var i = 0; i < CreateObjectList01.listOfObjects.length; i++) 
{       
var toString = "" + CreateObjectList01.listOfObjects[i];   //converts array objects to type string        

 if (GUILayout.Button(toString))    
 {                           
 gameObject.Find("Cameratarget").transform.position = gameObject.Find(toString).transform.position; 
 }
}

This compiles, but gives me the null reference exception when I click on one of the buttons. Your first suggestion doesn't solve it, the nullreference remains. The second suggestion triggers the following error: "Assets/myGUI.js(84,114): BCE0019: 'transform' is not a member of 'Object'. " I assume that means it's an array of Objects which is not the same as GameObjects. I did try that before therefore I tried to use the GameObject.Find instead. Is there perhaps a way to convert an Object to a GameObject?

Cameratarget exists and toString is not a GameObject but a string. If I try

 var toString = CreateObjectList01.listOfObjects[i];  //object type

instead of

 var toString = "" + CreateObjectList01.listOfObjects[i];  //string type

I get an error : BCE0017: The best overload for the method 'UnityEngine.GameObject.Find(String)' is not compatible with the argument list '(Object)'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: The string conversion is done (together with string split) to get the object names in the button-labels without (unityengine.gameobject) in them. I tried both the "toString" as a string and object (like mentioned above. And also tried "CreateObjectList01.listOfObjects", neither worked, I think I'm doing very simple completely wrong, just can figure out what.
