I know that this is a frequently asked question. I am using int.TryParse to get the GameObjects tag as an int. I googled about the issue and found a lot of answers, But non of them helped me out

This is the code that I am using:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Move_Target : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform Pointer;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
        if(other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
            int togo = 0;
            int.TryParse(tag, out togo);
            Pointer.transform.localPosition = GameObject.Find(togo + 1).tranform.localPosition;
        }
    }
}

edit: I forgot to mention that int.Parse, int.parse, togo = int.parse(tag) doesn’t work too.

My bad. after doing some things I landed on a working code(looks like I was confused about where the error was coming from.

For the nerds who actually wants to check out the code:

`using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Move_Target : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform Pointer;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
    if(other.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
        int togo = int.Parse(tag);
        Pointer.transform.localPosition = GameObject.Find((togo + 1).ToString()).transform.localPosition;
    }
}

}

If you’re trying to get a unique int for a string, try adding all of your strings to a List then do a myList.IndexOf(string) to return an int.

or

most people just add a public or private int id; variable to an attached script. If you make it static and increment it in Awake, then each object will have a unique Id.
But, if you really want to turn “Player” into an int, you could cast the string into a char array with
ToCharArray() and add up the characters or such.
