Change Amount value of objects in List.

Hello.

I'm trying to instantiate a List of GameObjects that have a equal script attached to them, add the objects to another List, compare if the new List have equal objects by its Name string and if true increase a int value named Amount of the equal objects, but i can't figure out a way to do this.
Here is what i've done so far:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class ScriptOne : Monobehaviour {
3. public void InstantiateList (List <GameObject> objsList, int objAmount)
4. {
5. //This list contains various objets that have the same script attached to them but with
6. //different values.
7. //I want to increase the Amount value only for the equal named objects.
8. for (int i = 0; i < objsList.Count; i++) {
9. if (objsList[i].gameObject.name == nameToLookFor) {
10. //The code below sets the Amount in the SomeScript attached to the objsList to objAmount.
11. //But it's the same value for each of them...
12. //What i want to do is "stack" the Amount value for each equal object found.
13. objsList[i].gameObject.GetComponent <SomeScript> ().Amount = objAmount;
14. newObjectsList.Add (objsList[i]);
15. }
16. }
17. }
18.  
19. public class ScriptTwo : MonoBehaviour {
20. //Here is the function in the other script that calls InstantiateList:
21. public void AddToInstantiateList ()
22. {
23. for (int i = 0, i < cubesList.Count; i++){
24. if (cubesList[i].GetComponent <CubeBehaviour> ().isSelected == true{
25. List <GameObject> firstList = new List <GameObject>;
26. //Is there a way to store the "amount" value of each object in "cubesList"?
27. int amount = cubesList[i].GetComponent <CubeBehaviour> ().theAmount;
28. firstList.Add (cubesList[i]);
29. //Then get the values at InstantiateList() function at ScriptOne?
30. //And assign these values to each SomeScript component attached to the objsList //GameObjects at ScriptOne if their name is equal?
31. scriptOne.InstantiateList (firstList[i], amount) //maybe turn amount in another list?
32. }
33. }
34. }
35. }
36. }

Maybe i can create a List of integers in

ScriptTwo

AddToInstantiateList ()

to store the

Amount

values of each object in

cubesList

and pass it as argument for

InstantiateList

in

ScriptOne

? Then how i would get and set the Amount int

InstantiateList

for each object of the same Name?

 

I don't really understand what you're asking here. Are you wanting the each object's

Amount

value to increase by one when added to

newObjectsList

?

Like this?

newObjectsList[0].Amount = 0

newObjectsList[1].Amount = 1

newObjectsList[2].Amount = 2

newObjectsList[3].Amount = 3

newObjectsList[4].Amount = 4

Etc...

 

I'm calling the InstantiateList (List <GameObject> objsList, int objAmount) from another script and i'm trying to figure out a way to increase the variable Amount from <SomeScript> attached to all objects in the objsList that has the same Name with a loop, and if the names match i don't instantiate a new object, i just add up to its amount.
In the other script that i'm calling this function i'm looping in a List of selected objects and passing the List as argument. I think the argument objAmount is too limited for what i'm trying to achieve...

 

I don't see anything wrong with your code then.
Does

newObjectsList

have any objects after the method completes? If not, then perhaps none of the object's names from the original list are matching with

nameToLookFor

.

 

I edited my last post, i think it's a bit more clearer.

 

Does anyone have a solution to this? I just need to add the correct

Amount

value to each objects in the

objsList[i]

after checking if their name is equal to

nameToLookFor

.
How do i store these

Amount

values in

ScriptTwo

AddToInstantiateList

and pass it to

ScriptOne InstantiateList()

and assign them correctly to the

objsList[i]

?

 

That's almost it! I was thinking of using a new

List <int> objsAmount

to store the

Amount

value of each object that has the

CubeBehaviour

and use it as argument for the

InstantiateList()

function in

ScriptOne

. But i don't know how to use this new List to assign the

Amount

value to each

objsList[i] List

that matches with

NameToLookFor

automatically.
