Find GameObcject with specific value inside List

Hi i have rather big problem

Code (CSharp):

1. public List<GameObject> Cards;

I have made a list of gameobject. These gameobjects each has attached script called card. Now i have some id and i want to get the card from that list so that gameobject.card.id is the same as id that i have at the beggining.

Is it doable?

 

I'd use linq.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. string id = "the id we're searching for";
3. var go = (from g in Cards
4.                let c = g.GetComponent<Card>()
5.                where c != null && c.id == id
6.                select g);
7.  

You need to be sure to include "using System.Linq;" at the top of your script file (C#)

 

i get 'Cannot find Card ....' in g.GetComponent<Card>()

but this works

Code (CSharp):

1. string g = GameObject.Find("blabla").GetComponent<Card>().id;

 

If you have a list of GameObjects that have Card components then why not just store the list of Card components themselves? Then you could do this alternately

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. Card card = Cards.FirstOrDefault<Card>(c => c.id == myId);
3. if (card != null)
4. {
5.     Debug.Log(card.id);
6. }
7.  

 

and then i just instantiate gameobject and set it's component to be equal to the selected component?\

or am i missing something ?

 

That means that when you said:

You were wrong. Because if it cannot find the component, then one isn't on the GameObject, and you don't have a list of gameobjects with 'Card' components on them.

 

It was during build of scripts error so it doesn't know what gameobject has attached on that stage (at least i don't think so)
