I think I recognize 'Enum'. That means I have to type a list of every name of every enemy right? there's around 50! How would I go from there? Please, may I ask you for an example? | |

| Aug 5, 2011 at 12:39 | comment | added | Jonathan Connell | @Epic447 Ok now I get it :). Indeed you could use a list of string along with a UI overload to make this possible, but it's all rather messy. I'll edit my answer to try and help more. | |
| Aug 5, 2011 at 12:14 | comment | added | Epic447 | I appreciate your help so far, and thank you! this will work, but what about when I defeat one the spawners enemies? This code is in the update function- won't the count keep adding 1 each second after it finds someone with the right name? This is really a bigger head scratcher than I thought it would be. Anyway, the gist is to be able to place multiple spawn points in a level, drag and drop people/creatures to spawn at each one, then if the player defeats one of those characters, to spawn another. So all thats needed is a wider method for tallying each thing. I'm just trying not to use tags | |

| Aug 5, 2011 at 11:44 | comment | added | Epic447 | Unless If I can somehow tally 'foreach' to get a count of how many names it finds, I can't use it. I basically need amounts to check if their lengths are below a certain amount, so the spawner can know to instantiate more. I also prefer not to parent the enemies in gameobjects because they have other scripts constantly looking for the root transform, which must be the enemy itself (amongst other reasons). Someone a while ago suggested using 'Get Types' to find String names, but I had no idea how to use it properly with Java script. Any ideas? | |
