Assigning objects to a gameobject array on runtime

Unity Engine
1

Very new to unity but fumbling my way around…

I don’t know if this is the right way to do things but I needed each of the ‘containers’ in my game to have an ID attached to them for interaction etc.

Someone suggested making a gameobject array and putting them all in that, then just using the array element as the ID. So I did that and it worked fine. I added them all in through the inspector, but it’s quite laborious doing it every time I have to change things, so thought I’d try and do it via code on game startup instead.

Tried this… (container_ids[ ] is the gameobject array)

var objects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Container");
        foreach (var obj in objects) {
            container_ids[obj] = GameObject;
        }

This errors me “Expression denotes a type', where a variable’, value' or method group’ was expected”

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Figured how to fix it after messing about a little

var objects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Container");
        int c = 0;
        foreach (var obj in objects) {
            container_ids[c] = obj;
            c++;
        }

If you have some of these gameobejcts at the start of the game, you can just run this in the Start() then everytime, you have a new object, try this:

var object = GameObject.Instantiate(...);
array[array.Length] = object;
