reversing an array? how to?

Questions & Answers

i want to convert from using arrays to lists

here is what i have so far:

    //CREATE A TEMP ARRAY VAR (GENERIC LIST)
	var tmpList = new List.<Transform>();
	
	//GET ALL OBJECTS IN THE GROUP (BUILT IN ARRAY, VERY FAST/FIXED SIZE)
	var members : Transform[]=object.parent.GetComponentsInChildren.<Transform>();
	
	//REVERSE THE OBJECTS IN THE ARRAY
	members.Reverse();

the problem is that GetComponentsInChilder gives me built in array that i cannot reverse.
is there some easy way in reversing the array? or how i can do this differently?

thanks!

You have to write:

System.Array.Reverse(members);

Say you have

Transform[] allChildren = GetComponentsInChildren< Transform >();

which you want to reverse. First you’d create a new array of equal size:

Transform[] tempArray = new Transform[ allChildren.Length ];

Now just assign each element at index i to length-(i+1)

for( int i = 0; i < allChildren.Length; i++ )
{
    tempArray[ allChildren.Length - 1 - i ] = allChildren[ i ];
}

And then you copy the temp array into the original array to replace it.

allChildren = tempArray //allchildren is now reversed.
