I have created a GameObject array that contains 2 GameObjects with the same tag. I am trying to get each index value and use the index value for an OnClick event on each of the 2 GameObjects with the tag. The 2 GameObjects that have the same tag have a button component.
I am trying to access the array index for each of the 2 GameObjects and use them for an OnClick method that recognises the appropriate index through conditional statements. The method “public void red_buttons_mthd ()” is attached to each OnClick for the button component of the 2 GameObjects .
GameObject array using FindGameObjectsWithTag.
Access each array index
Separate indexes using if statements
Access function from OnClick of each button component
I get the error seen in the quote below. I have searched the internet and seen numerous forums on the issue of accessing index values and using them in conditional statements, however I can’t seem to find a conclusive answer. If you need any more information do please let me know.
public void red_buttons_mthd ()
{
GameObject [] red_buttons_go = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("red buttons");
for (int i = 0; i < red_buttons_go.Length; i++)
if (red_buttons_go[0] == true ){
Debug.Log ("red button 1 pressedd");
}
else if (red_buttons_go[1] == true ) {
Debug.Log ("red button 2 pressed");
}
}
Are you wanting something along these lines? Although I suspect something is missing from line 5 (hence my big comment there) :-
GameObject[] red_buttons_go = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("red buttons");
for (int i = 0; i < red_buttons_go.Length; i++)
{
if (red_buttons_go[i] <presumably you want to call a method on the button that returns a bool here?> )
{
Debug.Log("red button " + i + " pressed");
}
}
This is what I believe I need yes. So when the method is called a bool is returned and each array index of the GameObject has its own bool thats returned.
There must be a way to linearly search through an array of GameObjects and use each index from the array in a an if statement. This is what I am looking into.
An “if” statement just takes a bool if( some_condition ). So the question is, what is the condition you are wanting? Can you state it in natural language and we can see if we can find the appropriate call to make.
The condition I am wanting is to know which button has been pressed pressed from the GameObject array. I have a GameObject array which has been created using GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag . Each GameObject from the array has a button component.
Because I have more than one Gameobject with the same tag and each onclick handler is referencing the same function. The function than determines which index from the array of GameObjects has been pressed.
So in simple terms I have 2 scripts. One script script (a) contains delegates and events. The seconds script (script b) will contain an event handler method that subscribes to a function in scirpt a. In script “a” there will be a function in which a boolean is set to true and that function will be added to the OnClick handler of the button. When the button is pressed there will be a subscriber to the event in script “b”.
script “a” (main logic controller) contains delegates and events
script “a” has function that sets boolean to true OnClick of button
Script “B” is subscribed to function in script “a” so is waiting for the button to be pressed.
I want to drive Boolean logic off the individual clicks. I am looking at completely changing the way I approach the project. I am looking at adding methods to the OnClick event handler of each button component. The method will contain boolean logic used to determine which event handler methods should be called. I don’t think I will create buttons as you have but rather make use of delegates and events to execute the desired functions.
