How To Exclude Element From ForEach Loop

Unity Engine
1

Hey,

I was wondering if theres a simple way to exclude an element from a foreach loop,

Basically i have a bunch of game objects in an array and i want to transform them all apart from one is there a way to do this

  1. Make a new List without that element.
  2. Add an if statement in the loop.
  3. Use For Loop and avoid the index if you know its position.

this is what continue statements are good for. Lets you skip a iteration based on any condition you want.

foreach(var item in items) {
    if (item == ignoredItem) continue;
    // do loop stuff
}

I’m not surprised!

Let’s keep our variable names straight… this would make perhaps more sense:

foreach (GameObject Top in Tops)
{
   if (Top == Tops[7]) continue;

//....
