The Problem

I am dealing from another class and into a player's Tray(A class with a List of Tiles and an array of bools to show that a slot in the tray is full). When dealing into the player's tray, I update the list and bool array after each tile. The first element of the bool array never gets filled, and I think its a logic error with my loops. I am looking for suggestions about how to make sure that the first element of the bool array gets populated after updating each tile.

The image shows what happens to the bool array in the inspector when one tile is dealt. The second part of the image is when the second card is dealt.

BackGround

In Unity 2D: I have a Tile class, PlayerTileTray class, PlayerTileTrayManager class and a TileManager class.

TileManager creates a List and adds elements to the list, setting the Tile variables. TileManager has a Deal Method with an OnTileSent(Tile sentTile) event that sends the top tile as a parameter.

PlayerTileTrayManager listens to the event using the OnTileSent Method. PlayerTileTrayManager's job is to take that tileSent and place it in one of several _trays in a PlaceTileInFirstEmptySlotOfTrays method. I am currently using an array of trays called _tray[].

If an next element of the _tray array is null, I Instantiate a gameObject Prefab representing the tray and add a PlayerTileTray instance to the prefab as _tray[trayIndex].

The PlayerTileTray has an array of bools,slotFull[], to show whether a slot is full. In the PlayerTileTrayManager: I loop through _tray and then slots of that tray to call the UpdateTrayWithTile method of PlayerTileTray UpdateTrayWiltTile adds the tile to a List in _tray, then trys to update the _tray bool variables emptyTray, fullTray and slotFull[].

The main problem I am having I am currently using a nested for loop. I have tried do while loops. The first bool element slotFull[0] never gets set to true despite how I try to make it true. When the first tile is dealt, slotFull[0] stays false. When the second tile is dealt both slotFull[0] and slotFull1 are true;

The results of everything else is achieved or will be if I can fix the first element of slotFull updating properly..

    //For testing

        foreach(KeyValuePair<string,Tile> t in stockTiles){
            for(int i = 0; i < numSets; i++)
                _fullStackTiles.Add(t.Value);
        }
    }

        for(int i = 0; i < numIilesToDeal; i++){
            //TileSend method is near the beginning of this script in the Delegate #region
            //TileSend (shuffledTiles[_topTile]);
            OnTileSent(shuffledTiles[_topTile]);
            shuffledTiles.RemoveAt(_topTile);

  • \$\begingroup\$ You never clearly state what your problem is. I mean, this sentence sounds like it might be the problem you are wanting help with, but it's so buried that it's hard to tell: "The first bool element slotFull[0] never gets set to true despite how I try to make it true." You really should open your lengthy question with a clear statement of what you are asking. The details of your code architecture are nice to know but only relevant after we know what we're looking for. \$\endgroup\$

In the PlayerTileTray, I initaized my Boolean array in Start(). I changed this to Awake and code worked as expected.
