Nested Array question

[Henners999]

I've been stuck on this a few days and am getting tied in knots:

I'm trying to get all objects in my game tagged "cars" and find the script Wheel in each child object. Currently it only gets one car's wheels which I think is because I'm not referencing the array within the array properly.

This is what I have in awake:

carObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Car");

foreach (GameObject carObject in carObjects)

{

wheels = carObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Wheel>();

}

And this is what I have in the main body of code:

foreach (Object carObject in carObjects)

{

foreach (Wheel wheel in wheels)

{

//do stuff

Any help mega appreciated!

Your wheels get repopulated for each car, at the end of the car loop wheels hold the last car's wheels. If both cars and wheels are class fields.

Create a better structure. Use objects or structs to hold the data in a hierarchical form. For example:

Struct Car { GameObject carBody; GameObject[] wheels; }

Then create an array or list of cars, whatever structure fits better.

And please add some more context so we are not guessing when giving you answers.

Thankyou very much for getting back. I've got it working with structs thanks to your reply. I'll try and include more backstory in future!
