Using an int as the size of a list

Any idea how to make a list the size of an int?

I am racking my brain trying to do this.

I have an object that is an int. It gets set by inputfield and I want to use it to instantiate an object however many times the int is.

 

When creating a new List, you can add a int parameter as the starting capacity:

Code (CSharp):

1. //Create a new List with a starting capacity of 10.
2. var whatever = new List<whatever>(10);

This is not a hard-cap though - you can still add items over the starting capacity. If you want to have a hard-cap of elements, use an array instead.

Use a for-loop:

Code (CSharp):

1. int instantiateCount = 5;
2.  
3. //Instantiate will be looped over 5 times.
4. for(int i = 0; i < instantiateCount; i++) {
5.    Instantiate(/*your object*/);
6. }

Not sure how the two questions here relate to each other though.

The first part of my post was what I need. The second part is what I want to do.

You did it. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.
