Question Cycle between enemies when locked on

Hello. So ...I was working on a lock-on system for my top-down shooter and everything was fine, until I realized, that I have no idea how to cycle between enemies in an array. Basically, the player turns toward another enemy if they are closer than the previous one, but I want to be able to cycle between enemies that are at the same distance. Thanks for your help in advance!

P.S Here is the code so far.

Code (CSharp):

1. void CheckDistToEnemy()
2.     {
3.         enemies = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");
4.  
5.         for (int i = 0; i < enemies.Length; i++)
6.         {
7.             if (Vector3.Distance(this.transform.position, enemies[i].transform.position) <= distToAimAtEnemy)
8.             {
9.                 if (Physics.Raycast(this.transform.position, enemies[i].transform.position))
10.                 {
11.                     enemies[i].gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.red;
12.                     Vector3 targetPos = new Vector3(enemies[i].transform.position.x, transform.position.y, enemies[i].transform.position.z);
13.                     player.LookAt(targetPos);
14.                 }
15.             }
16.             else
17.             {
18.                 enemies[i].gameObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.white;
19.             }
20.         }
21.     }

 

Due to floating point imprecision, two enemies will almost never be "the same" distance, so instead think of it as "similar distances"

However, your proposed approach will cause a problem for the user because if two enemies are "sorta" close in distance, the user CAN select between them, but if a third enemy is just a little farther, the user can't select him for some mysterious reason, and depending on orientation, it might be very frustrating.

You might want to instead just implement a basic "allow lockon and switching of all enemies within X range," which is basically what Souls-like games do.

Fortunately this is very well-travelled ground:

And the requisite 46,600 tutorial videos:

 

I might switch to maybe a trigger zone instead of float in the future, because yeah, I thought about those problems.
And regarding vids on YT, I think they all use a camera-based lock-on ( which is not what I need, as far as I know). But I haven't checked every single one tho. Still, thanks for your reply.

 

Good for you , invent something new then copy paste google.However in this video are some really interesting points about camera
