Storing collided gameObject array index

Question

Hi Everyone,

I have 3 gameObject players in array.

 public GameObject [] player;
 player = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("PlayerBlue");
 
 if (collision.gameObject.tag == "PlayerBlue")
 {
     i = (store array index here)
     transform.parent = player[i].transform;
 }

How do I store the index of collided game object? I want to make collided player to be the parent of the ball.

Please advise. Thank you.

You could do it like this:

 if (collision.gameObject.tag == "PlayerBlue")
 {
     for (int j = 0; j < player.Length; j++) {
         if (player[j] == collision.gameObject) {
             i = j;
             transform.parent = player[i].transform;
             break;
         }
     }
 }

We compare the tagged game objects with the collision game object and save it if it's the right one.
