Question by arkochelsea · Jul 04, 2012 at 10:37 AM · errorgameobjectarraycomponent

Unity cannot find component of an object in an array.

The Code:

     private var resetObjects=new Array(11);
     private var resetPositions=new Vector3[11];
     
     function Awake(){
      resetObjects=GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Pins");
      resetObjects.Push(GameObject.Find("Ball"));
      var a=0;
      for(var obj in resetObjects)
      {
      resetPositions[a++]=obj.transform.position; //Error
      }
      
     }

Console Error: Assets/PlayerController.js(16,41): BCE0019: 'transform' is not a member of 'Object'.

What is the Error and how to solve it?

Thank You in advance.

Unity cannot find component of an object in an array

The best title would have been: "I cannot find component of an object in an array." Saying that the engine is not capable of doing it while it is a programming issue is a little daring.

You should use a List. which can be dynamically sized, is strongly typed and supports the same access format.

  import System.Collections.Generic;

    ...


    var resetObjects = new List.<GameObject>();

Array is really not a good idea - but if you insist you can cast the value like this

    resetPositions[a++] = (obj as GameObject).transform.position;

You can use an Array of Game Objects (GameObject[]) instead of using Array() or cast the type of obj to GameObject

Then i cannot add another GameObject to that array after using that FindGameObjectsWithTag function.
