how to use object[] in instantiateSceneObject

Quadgnim

Sorry I guess I feel like this is a noob question, and I should know it, but I'm finding it confusing.

I have an array of Vector3 values and I want to pass them into the instantiate so I can properly setup each copy of the avatar. I noticed the InstantiateSceneObject has an optional parameter object[] and I was hoping I could use it to pass the list of Vector3 values, but I can't figure out how to make the assignment work, or if its not possible?

I tried typecasting from Vector3[] to object[] but it doesn't like that. I tried just using the Vector3[] variable and it didn't like that either.

is there an example of how I can use the object[] variable? I've always used traditional data types or GameObject. I'm not sure how to leverage object in this context?

Thanks

2 ways off the top of my head...

A) treat the vector array as an object in the object array

Vector3[] vecArray;
... //set up your array of vectors

object[] objArray = new object[] { vecArray };

Or you could do...

cut out the middleman and treat each vector as objects in the object array

Vector3 vec1;
Vector3 vec2;
Vector3 vec3;
etc...

object[] objArray = new object[]{ vec1, vec2, vec3,...};

Ok I see what ur saying. I'll give it a try.

yep worked like a charm, so obvious now that I look at it.

I was trying to do things like:

Vector3[] myvec;
object[] myobj;

myobj= (object[])myvec;

which don't work. However doing

myobj[0] = myvec;

works perfect, thanks for clarifying.

I think you should also be able to call the method with several vectors: method(..., vector3a, vector3b) and it should "convert" to object[] when sent.
