List of coordinates

[FowardElement]

Basically what I have:

 

1. List of coordinates

2. When player enters any of these coordinates -UI.Notify

 

Now I have this working for each coordinate, but I need to make the coordinates into a list that I can update to make the code much cleaner. For some reason I cant wrap my head around this. I've searched the forums (List of coordinates, vector3 list, etc) and I cant come up with anything. Please be nice to this newbie and give me an example of creating a list of coordinates that I can use with Game.Player.Character. IsInRangeOf. Thanks.

C#:

Vector3[] coords = new Vector3[] { new Vector3(0, 0, 0), new Vector3(1, 1, 1) };

Thanks for the info, but how would I use this for

 

if (Game.Player.Character.IsInRangeOf(?, 1))

{

UI.Notify("Is in range");

}

foreach (Vector3 vec3 in coords)

{

if (Game.Player.Character.IsInRangeOf(vec3, 1))

{

UI.Notify("Is in range");

break;

}

}

Yes, yes ,yes! Thank you so much!

foreach (Vector3 vec3 in coords){  if (Game.Player.Character.IsInRangeOf(vec3, 1))  {    UI.Notify("Is in range");    break;  }}

 

 

foreach is a lot more costly than a for() loop, I would avoid foreach like the plague when it comes to scripting for games.

 

I would do one of these:

        List<Vector3> Coordinates = new List<Vector3>() { LocationA, LocationB, LocationC };        int index = Coordinates.FindIndex(x => Game.Player.Character.IsInRangeOf(x, 1));                if (index > -1)                       UI.Notify(string.Format("Location {0} is in range!", Coordinates[index]));

or do this:

  for (int i = 0; i < Coordinates.Count; i++)        {            if (Game.Player.Character.IsInRangeOf(Coordinates[i], 1))            {                UI.Notify("Is in range");                break;            }        }

You can edit(add/remove) elements in a list, so I prefer using Lists.

Vector3 Loc1 = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);List<Vector3> Locs = new List<Vector3> { Loc1, new Vector3(0, 0, 0) };Locs.Add(Loc1);Locs.RemoveAt(0);

I agree, but if you have data that doesn't need to change, arrays perform faster than lists.
