Question [SOLVED ]Get child with highest sibling index?

So I need to get a reference to a variable number of children with the highest sibling index. I've tried getting the values and putting them into an array but I can't get the highest amounts in that array. Any help?

 

either

var lastChild = transform.GetChild(transform.childCount - 1)

or for the array:

var lastElement = array[array.Length - 1]

If you are using Unity V2022, you can also write

var lastElement = array[^1]

(which is available at C# Version 8, which should be included in V2022 if I am not mistaken).

Also if you are not concerned about performance, you can use Linq, by writing

using System.Linq;

at the top of the file and then using it with

var lastElement = array.Last();

.

 

thanks for the help but i forgot to mention that i am trying to only get active children. i use SlotParent.GetComponentsInChildren<SlotValue>().GetLength(0); is there a way to get this to work with your code?

 

Iterate from the childCount - 1 down to zero, looking for the first enabled one, then stop.

 

thanks a lot mate, got it working
