if you just need to remove and needn't an index, simply use

foreach(GameObject go in gos)
{
    gos.Remove(go);
}

simply this script looks like

gos.Clear();

if you need an index use

gos.IndexOf(go);

important

never change array while you use it in foreach cycle. especially you completely understand what you are doing

to get element:

 GameObject go3 = MyGameObjects[3];

to remove element just use List<GameObject> instead of GameObject[] and simply use Remove method on List<>

yeah. But I need a funtion. Like:

foreach(GameObject go in gos)

{

int goInt;

go.GetArrayNumber... stored in goInt

gos.Remove(arrayNumber(goInt));

}

Use generic lists - much faster and properly support inserting and deleting elements as well as supporting standard array syntax:

   using System.Collections.Generic;

   ...


   List<GameObject> gos = new List<GameObject>();
   gos.Remove(go);
   var i = gos.IndexOf(go);
