tracking racing game car order (Overwite element in an array)

Unity Engine
1

Hi I’v used Edy car rig from the Asset store (mint) and the AIdriver tool kit for some AI cars to race,

all is good I’m just trying to implement a tracking system to show what order the cars are in (4 AI 1 player) places 1-5.
I have set up an array (or two)

private var numbers = [1,2,5,8,15]; // to store times
private var names = [“Bluecar”,“Graycar”,“Greencar”, “Yellowcar”, “Player”]; // to store which car

So I have created a set of triggers around the track, each one checks what car hits it an stores the time,

if (TriggerhitObject.gameObject == (AIcar1green)) {
numbers[3] = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad;
names[3] = “GreenCar”;
}

I then use to sort the array

System.Array.Sort(numbers, names);

The problem I am having is adding data to the array after the first time,
Can I over write just one part of the array (AIcar1 time for example) it seem to be overwriting all the entries in the array

must stress not a coder and first time playing with array (is this possible)

I thought numbers[3] = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad; would over write the 4th item in the array (the array starting at 0).
but I then just get all entries written,
I’m displaying the data (positions) like this

POS1TXT.text = (names[0] + " " + numbers[0]);
POS2TXT.text = (names[1] + " " + numbers[1]);
POS3TXT.text = (names[2] + " " + numbers[2]);
POS4TXT.text = (names[3] + " " + numbers[3]);
POS5TXT.text = (names[4] + " " + numbers[4]);

any pointer or am I going about this the wrong way?

Hi Mike,

Seems like your heading along the right lines. Could you post the full Script that your using on your trigger objects, might be easier to figure out what’s going wrong then :slight_smile:
