Getters/Setters with C# Arrays

Hi All,

I have an array of GameObjects that gets swapped a lot based on the current game state. They have a script attached to them (say SomeScript) that contains a lot of unique properties about that particular GameObject. In an effort to decrease my GetComponent calls, as well as create some cleaner code, I'd like the following to happen:

If I set GameObj[1] = SomeGO; I want GameObjScripts[1] = SomeGO.GetComponent<SomeScript>();

My current attempt (trying to follow http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2549tw02(v=vs.80).aspx which I think is the relevant msdn page):

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public static class TEST
3. {
4.    private GameObject[] mGameObj;
5.    public  SomeScript[] GameObjScripts;
6.  
7.    public static GameObject GameObj(int index)
8.    {
9.       get
10.       {
11.          return mGameObj[index];
12.       }
13.       set
14.       {
15.          mGameObj[index] = value;
16.          GameObjScripts = value.GetComponent<SomeScript>() as SomeScript;
17.       }
18.    }
19. }
20.  

However this doesn't work. Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for getting this to compile?

 

It cannot be a static property since you need an indexer for it, so here is your class:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. public class TEST
3. {
4.  
5.    private GameObject[] mGameObj;
6.    public SomeScript[] GameObjScripts;
7.  
8.    public GameObject this [int index]
9.    {
10.       get
11.       {
12.          return mGameObj[index];
13.       }
14.       set
15.       {
16.          mGameObj[index] = value;
17.          GameObjScripts = value.GetComponent<SomeScript>() as SomeScript;
18.       }
19.    }
20. }
21.  

 

I saw you changed it to "this [int index]" as well -- how exactly is this getter/setter utilized? What command do I do to trigger the setter?
