Copying Certain Data between two Arrays

Questions & Answers
1

So I’ve got an array:

private var SceneObjects : GameObject [];

This has all of the objects in the scene.
Now, I’ve got this other array:

private var Platforms : GameObject [];

How do I set the array Platforms to have only the gameobjects in SceneObjects which contain the name ‘PlatCenter’?

for (var Plats : GameObject in SceneObjects) { 
  if (Plats.gameObject.name.Contains("PlatCenter")) {
    for (var i : int = 0; i<SceneObjects.length; i++){
      Platforms _= SceneObjects*;*_

}
}
}
I’ve tried that, but it is only producing the error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object -
(wrapper stelemref) object:stelemref (object,intptr,object)
Thanks.

First, you must declare your array in memory. Second, in your search code you don’t know, how many objects with name “PlatCenter” on your Scene. Than I recommend using List. See example below:

 import System.Collections.Generic;

 public var SceneObjects : GameObject [];
 var platformsList : List.<GameObject> = new List.<GameObject>();

 function Start() {
  this.mySearch();
 }

 function mySearch() {
  for (var Plats : GameObject in SceneObjects) {
   //Name is contains "PlatCenter", than add to list
   if (Plats.name.Contains("PlatCenter")) {
    platformsList.Add(Plats);
   }
  }
 }

I hope that it will help you.
