Accessing item in Fixed Array

Unity Engine
1

Hi

I have an array of gameobjects created via the inspector (e.g. var stuff : GameObjects[ ]).

I’m still trying to get my head around arrays etc, and not sure how to do the following.

I need to match a word to the corresponding (same name) gameObject in the stuff[ ] array. I know that the array stores numbers as references to each gameObject, so figure there must be a way to look through the array to find the corresponding number.

So, as an example:

var previousSelection : String = “Dog”;

How do I access the gameObject, called “Dog” in stuff[ ] ??

Hope I’m making myself clear here lol… Thanks for advice.

Try comparing stuff*.name with “Dog” in a loop for all elements in stuff.*

Sounds to me like you need a Dictionary instead of an array.
