c# - Get the position of a gameobject in an array -

i using script sort array alphanumeric:

public class alphanumcomparatorfast : icomparer<string> {     public int compare(string x, string y)     {         string s1 = x string;         if (s1 == null)         {             return 0;         }         string s2 = y string;         if (s2 == null)         {             return 0;         }          int len1 = s1.length;         int len2 = s2.length;         int marker1 = 0;         int marker2 = 0;          // walk through 2 strings 2 markers.         while (marker1 < len1 && marker2 < len2)         {             char ch1 = s1[marker1];             char ch2 = s2[marker2];              // buffers can build characters in each chunk.             char[] space1 = new char[len1];             int loc1 = 0;             char[] space2 = new char[len2];             int loc2 = 0;              // walk through following characters digits or             // characters in both strings starting @ appropriate marker.             // collect char arrays.                         {                 space1[loc1++] = ch1;                 marker1++;                  if (marker1 < len1)                 {                     ch1 = s1[marker1];                 }                 else                 {                     break;                 }             } while (char.isdigit(ch1) == char.isdigit(space1[0]));                          {                 space2[loc2++] = ch2;                 marker2++;                  if (marker2 < len2)                 {                     ch2 = s2[marker2];                 }                 else                 {                     break;                 }             } while (char.isdigit(ch2) == char.isdigit(space2[0]));              // if have collected numbers, compare them numerically.             // otherwise, if have strings, compare them alphabetically.             string str1 = new string(space1);             string str2 = new string(space2);              int result;              if (char.isdigit(space1[0]) && char.isdigit(space2[0]))             {                 int thisnumericchunk = int.parse(str1);                 int thatnumericchunk = int.parse(str2);                 result = thisnumericchunk.compareto(thatnumericchunk);             }             else             {                 result = str1.compareto(str2);             }              if (result != 0)             {                 return result;             }         }         return len1 - len2;     } } 

and script array attached cubes:

void awake() {     allcubes = gameobject.findgameobjectswithtag("cube");     allcubes = allcubes.orderby(obj => obj.name, new alphanumcomparatorfast()).toarray(); } 

this output in inspector:

my question is: there way find out @ number current object in array is? added script cubes, there way if put code in script return position of gameobject in array list? example if debug cube5, return:

my position in array 4

my goal next cube of next cube of each cube :). cube1 should give me cube3, cube3 should give me cube5 etc.. thought use answer , variable + 2. want this, because each cube has information of next cube of next cube.

you loop on array , compare gameobject instance. if matches, return current loop index. if nothing matches, return negative number since array cannot have negative number.

public gameobject[] allcubes;  int findindex(gameobject target) {     (int = 0; < allcubes.length; i++)     {         //if find index return current index         if (allcubes[i] == target)         {             return i;         }     }     //nothing found. return negative number     return -1; } 

to use in scrip, pass gameobject variable current gameobject script attached to.

int index = findindex(gameobject);

edit:

i suggest change current design little-bit , put code in question on empty gameobject alphanumcomparatorfast script executed once. can access array result other scrips. see this post how that. saying because speed game.
