Grab a specific item from a list

Unity Engine

Hello,
I want to put an index for each item in the list and every button takes an index of the item and when I press any button it opens up the corresponding panel for the button.

    public GameObject ClanDescriptionContainer;

            GameObject Descripition = Instantiate(ClanDescriptionPrefab, ClanDescriptionContainer.transform) as GameObject;
           cList = new GameObject[ClanDescriptionContainer.transform.childCount];
            for (int i = 0; i < ClanDescriptionContainer.transform.childCount; i++)
                cList[i] = ClanDescriptionContainer.transform.GetChild(i).gameObject;

            foreach (GameObject go in cList)
                go.SetActive(false);

        }
    }
    public void Join()
    {
        cList[index].SetActive(false);
        index++;
        if (index == cList.Length)
            index = 0;

        cList[index].SetActive(true);

    }
    public void SelectButton(int buttonIndex)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < cList.Length; ++i)
            cList[i].SetActive(i == buttonIndex);
    }

I really don’t understand your problem.

  • every element of the list has an index.
  • the buttons are created dynamically or from inspector?

??

Maybe you can use Dictionarynew Dictionary<int, Panel>();

I don’t know how can i explain but this video maybe can explain what I mean. I want when I create a Clan. I can move between them when I select his name and click Join clan it opens another panel
https://vimeo.com/383448260

    public GameObject itemTemplet;
    public GameObject content;
    int index = 0;
    public void ClickBtn()
    {
        var copy = Instantiate(itemTemplet);
        copy.transform.parent = content.transform;
        copy.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero;

        copy.GetComponentInChildren<Text>().text = (index + 1).ToString();

        int copyOfIndex = index;

        copy.GetComponent<Button>().onClick.AddListener(

            () =>
            {
                Debug.Log("Index number : " + copyOfIndex);
             }
            );
            index++;
    }

I think it’s about the program structure here…
You don’t need a new panel for every clan you have. One panel it’s just fine, if you want to show more than a clan just duplicate it.

This “join clan” panel should auto complete himself with information based on a index (your button index). You can also send to this clan your clan[index] structure to show.
And with that i think it will be ok.

Also when you’re joining clan

public void Join()
    {
        cList[index].SetActive(false);
        index++;
        if (index == cList.Length)
            index = 0; //here this line will always execute if you're clicking the last button of the list
        cList[index].SetActive(true);
    }
