Get GameObject (What's wrong here?)

I've tried to alter a material script to get game objects instead.

Not quite working as planned.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class RandomMaterial : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.     public GameObject[] gameObject;
7.     int current;
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.     }
12.    
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     public void Switch () {
15.         current++;
16.         if (current >= gameObject.Length)
17.             current = 0;
18.         GetComponent<GameObject> = gameObject[current];
19.     }
20. }
21.  

Original Code

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class RandomMaterial : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.     public Material[] materials;
7.     int current;
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.     }
12.    
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     public void Switch () {
15.         current++;
16.         if (current >= materials.Length)
17.             current = 0;
18.         GetComponent<Renderer>().material = materials[current];
19.     }
20. }
21.  

 

game objects aren't components, they are the things that components are attached to.

what are you trying to do?

 

So you want to get a gameobject from an array?
What do you want to do with it when you've got it - assign it to a variable?

Gameobjects cannot be components but instead they contain components. You call 'GetComponent' on a Gameobject.

Does this fit what you want?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. public class RandomMaterial : MonoBehaviour {
4.  
5.     public GameObject[] gameObject;
6.     int current;
7.     private GameObject selectedObject;
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.     }
12.  
13.     // Update is called once per frame
14.     public void Switch () {
15.         current++;
16.         if (current >= gameObject.Length)
17.             current = 0;
18.        selectedObject = gameObject[current];
19.     }
20. }
21.  

 

Just a tip,always get the SharedMaterial and not the Material - otherwise you would make instances of said materials and break batching.
