How to return index of List element?

Questions & Answers

Hello, I am working on a game right now, and I’m kind of stuck.

It would take too much time to explain what I’m trying to do exactly, so I’ll use fruits to simplify it.

Basically, I have manually populated a sprite list with the following fruits:

Element 0: Apple
Element 1: Strawberry
Element 2: Peach
Element 3: Orange
Element 4: Lemon
Element 5: Banana

I am instantiating a prefab with an image component and a script on it. On start, I load these sprites randomly on the screen inside of a scrollview as buttons with the associated images.

Now, my question is, how could I get the index number of each button that I press? For example I press the button with an orange on it, how could I return 3? By the way these buttons are only present when I start the game.

Thanks in advance.

Using System.Linq

int ListIDX = yourList.FindIndex(x => x.ElementName == "Apple");

(I think, untested; relace “ElementName” with your actual List element name for the attribute
