Assigning Multiple Game Objects to an Array in one line of code, Need Help

I am making a TD game like Baloons Tower Defence. I am trying to make a list of creeps that will spawn in each wave, but steam line the code as much as posible. I want to assign 10 game objects to a array with one line of code. it seems that i just cant word it properly to get it done.

this is my hole chink so far (a lot is missing, i am reprogramming the game manager. but you can see what i am needing.)


The problem is here, can anyone make this work for me?

Code (CSharp):

1.             wavePlaner[] = {minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0]} as GameObject ;

 

this is the entire class, if you are wondering.

Code (CSharp):

1. [code=CSharp]using System.Collections;
2. using System;
3.  
4. [Serializable]
5.  
6. public class gameManager : MonoBehaviour {
7. //Level Settings
8.     //Notes:easy, med, hard. Any powerups, ect.
9.  
10. //Player Settings
11.     //Notes:sound settings, controles, ect.
12.  
13. //Level Variables
14.     //Notes: Curent Wave, wave total, money, health, towers, minions, ect.
15.     //Wave Variables.
16.     public int totalWaveNumber;
17.     public int currentWaveNumber;
18.     public int spawnCounter;
19.     private GameObject[] wavePlaner;
20.         //This is the spawn timer, to make the creeps trickle out.
21.     private float timer;
22.     private float spawnSpeed;
23.  
24.     //player variables.
25.     public int credits;
26.     public int health;
27.  
28.     //minion variables.
29.     public GameObject[] minion1;
30.         //minion needed information variables.
31.     public Transform spawnLocation;
32.     public Transform[] pathArray;
33.  
34.     //tower variables
35.  
36.     //tower needed information varibales
37.     //Notes: powerups and info.
38.  
39.     //level settings
40.     public bool spawningMinions;
41.  
42.  
43.     public GameObject[] Waves(){
44.         wavePlaner = new GameObject[0];
45.         //this switch will take the current have number and provide the spawner with a list of minions to spawn, well at the same time adjusting settings acordingly.
46.         switch(currentWaveNumber){
47.         case 1:
48.             wavePlaner[] = {minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0]} as GameObject ;
49.  
50.             break;
51.         case 2:
52.  
53.             break;
54.         case 3:
55.             break;
56.         case 4:
57.             break;
58.         case 5:
59.             break;
60.         case 6:
61.             break;
62.         case 7:
63.             break;
64.         case 8:
65.             break;
66.         case 9:
67.             break;
68.         case 10:
69.             break;
70.         }
71.     }
72.  

[/code]

 

What's that "as GameObject" doing there?

 

Use a for-loop? Something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public numSpawns;
2.  
3. for(int i = 0; i < numSpawns; i++)
4. {
5.       wavePlaner[i] = new minion; // whatever gameobjects your enemy is
6. }

This is pseudocode, can't type that good from a phone

 

I was trying to make it work and added it to the end at some point.

this is possible. ill try using a couple loops and show you what i got.

 

Oh, I totally read over the error: it should be like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. wavePlaner = new GameObject[] {minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0],minion1[0]};

 

thank you my friend.

 

i ended up going down a different

Code (CSharp):

1. void Waves(){
2.         //twe are resetting this variable to insure that each time waves is ran, we are asigning to the begining of the array.
3.         minionArrayPlacekeeper = 0;
4.  
5.         if(currentWaveNumber > totalWaveNumber){
6.             spawningMinions = false;
7.             Debug.Log("Game Over"); // temp
8.             return;
9.         }
10.  
11.     //this switch will take the current have number and provide the spawner with a list of minions to spawn, well at the same time adjusting settings acordingly.
12.         switch(currentWaveNumber){
13.         case 1:
14.             incomingWave = new GameObject[6];
15.             spawnSpeed = 1;
16.             HaveAsigned(2,minion1[0]);
17.             HaveAsigned(2,minion1[1]);
18.             HaveAsigned(2,minion1[0]);
19.             minionArrayPlacekeeper = 0; //this needs to be set to 0 to make sure the next time Hase Asigned is called, it works properly.
20.  
21.             break;
22.         case 2:
23.             incomingWave = new GameObject[6];
24.             spawnSpeed = 1;
25.             HaveAsigned(2,minion1[0]);
26.             HaveAsigned(3,minion1[1]);
27.             HaveAsigned(1,minion1[0]);
28.             minionArrayPlacekeeper = 0; //this needs to be set to 0 to make sure the next time Hase Asigned is called, it works properly.
29.  
30.             break;
31.         case 3:
32.             break;
33.         case 4:
34.             break;
35.         case 5:
36.             break;
37.         case 6:
38.             break;
39.         case 7:
40.             break;
41.         case 8:
42.             break;
43.         case 9:
44.             break;
45.         case 10:
46.             break;
47.         }
48.     }
49.  
50.     //this function is a tool, to assign multiple minion gameobjects to the wave at one time.
51.     void HaveAsigned(int numberOfSpawns, GameObject minionToSpawn){
52.         //asigning the incoming minions acording to the information given.
53.         for(int i = 0; i < numberOfSpawns; i++){
54.             //asign the wave.
55.             incomingWave[minionArrayPlacekeeper] = minionToSpawn;
56.             //we are using this variable insted of i, so that way we can run this function again and add more minions of a difrent type to the wave.
57.             minionArrayPlacekeeper ++;
58.  
59.         }
60.     }

rout for my waves, so that way i can have each wave change settings like spawn speed.

This is what i got, what you think?
