How to call an Int from a List

Scripting
1

Im calling Toggle() from another NewScript and would like to know how to specify a Int/gameobject from the list in my NewScript.

This is the code im using as a manager.

public class MyManagerScript : MonoBehaviour
{
     public List<GameObject> list = new List<GameObject>();
  
     public void Toggle(int index)
     {
          if (index < 0 || index >= list.Count)
               return;
          list[index].SetActive(  !list[index].activeSelf );
     }

And this is my best guess at how to call the int from the public void Toggle(int index) from my NewScript. I have tried these poor excuses of examples but keep getting errors. Any help would be much welcomed. Thankyou.

public class NewScript: MonoBehaviour
{
     int index = 1;

     public void SetToggle()
     {
     Toggle(int =1); //Error

     Toggle(index); //Error
     }

I would think you are getting an error when calling Toggle because you aren’t including a reference to the script the Toggle function is in. Toggle(index) should work fine once they are properly set up though.

I haven’t done any of this lately, so someone can give the correct code/syntax if I am off… but something like:

in your NewScript:

declare a script reference variable. MyManagerScript scriptRef;

create an Awake/Start function and put following in it:

add in a Find function to get your MMScript… don’t remember the exact command setups.

scriptRef = FindObjectOfType<MyManagerScript>();

then when you call Toggle, you’d need to do:

scriptRef.Toggle(index);

scriptRef being whatever you wanted to call it, of course. It’s been a while, but I think that’s probably all you need to do.

Thankyou Lentaq for your response. I should have stated before hand that i was using only parts of my code to keep the question clean but the funny thing was i never included a way to Find<> the script. I thought that since i specified a public MyManagerScript scriptRef; and used the drag and drop with the component containing MyManagerScript that the rest would sort itself out. Awesome Thankyou.

You are right, I believe. The drag and drop should have negated the need for a Find<>. You were probably simply lacking the call to it in front of your Toggle(index) - the “scriptRef.Toggle(index)” that is.
