Array

Unity Engine
1

I have 8 pieces of geometry, which basically have the same code on them, named Link1->Link8.

http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=6473

function OnMouseUp(){
var go = GameObject.Find("Link1");
go.GetComponent("LoadParentFrameFunction").enabled = false;
}

Could I, instead of duplicating the script 8 times correcting the GameObject name, use an array for this, so it runs the script for each object?

function OnMouseDown(){
if(enabled){var go = GameObject.Find("Main Camera");
go.GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;
Application.ExternalCall("parent.showHideText", "address1");
}
}

Also this script is basically the same for all 8 objects, only the string in ExternalCall is different from the 8 objects.

I have never used array (or programmed much entirely), so any help would be highly appreciated.

If its an string you can create a variable

var address : String;

That will be visible in the editor so you can edit there what you want to execute for each object that has the script with:

function OnMouseDown ()
{
   if(enabled)
   {
      var go = GameObject.Find("Main Camera");
      go.GetComponent("MouseLook").enabled = false;
      Application.ExternalCall("parent.showHideText", address);
   }
}

You can have as many variables you want to be editable right in the editor inspector.

Note that this variables are not private and must be outside of every function.
