Get Random Object by name[SOLVED]

[Sly]

Hello,

It could be cool to have an action to have a random gameobject (like the Get Random Object) by checking if the name of it contains a certain name in a same action.

For example in my random dungeon generation I would like to find a random gameobject with tag "Room" + it name start with "room_".
If I'm taking the actual action Get Random Object and check it name with action Get name, my FSM could loop for a moment if it didn't find something correct.

Do you think it could be possible?

Hi,

 Unfortunatyl, that would mean total bad performances, because there is no fast access to gameobject names in the scene.

the way to achieve this is to use for example ArrayMaker and have an fsm that register itself on each of these objects, so that then you can take a random one from an arrayList, which is in turn very fast and sound.

if you the gameobjects exists during editing, then you can fill an array in editor, that's also possible.

 Bye,

 Jean

Oh ok. I was thinking about this without having the performance knowledge like you have guys! So I understand.
I was already thinking of the array maker as a backup solution, but finally I will use this.

Merci beaucoup Jean
