Title: Find game object in array by name?
Post by: Captaincrud on November 12, 2016, 11:33:42 PM

Am I missing something seems like there should be a way to do this? I could go long route make a switch that gets index number but seems like a lot of extra work for nothing.

Hi,
I checked on the unity forum, you could use hashtable instead.
you can get arraymaker on the Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181)
it has hashtables.
or have 2 array one with strings containing the gameobject names and one with the objects.
and do the search in the array with strings to get the index nr

that might work but you need to use the "array maker" package
