Runtime Lists

A RuntimeList is a type of RuntimeObject designed to store multiple references or values that are meant to be accessed and shared accross more than one GameObject in a scene or across more than one scene.

These objects extend upon the List<T> class in C# and can act as a 1 to 1 replacement for anything in your existing code already using a list. This includes everything from getting the total number of elements with RuntimeList.Count to accessing a specific element with RuntimeList[index].

RuntimeLists are heavily influenced by the differences between reference types and value types. You can learn more about reference and value types in C# here.

NOTE: RuntimeLists will globally reset themselves to their default state on application start/when you hit the play button. However, this does not happen when changing scenes during runtime. ReferenceLists CAN be an exception to this via a toggle on the object.
