Array Extension methods

Conversion

When modding and dealing with Ninja Kiwi's code, it is often frustrating having to convert/read/edit all sorts of different Array/List-like things

Here are all the types of lists/arrays supported

type of array/list	method
System.List<T>	.ToList<T>()
Il2CppSystem.List<T>	.ToIl2CppList<T>()
Assets.Scripts.Utils.LockList<T>	.ToLockList<T>()
Assets.Scripts.Utils.SizedList<T>	.ToSizedList<T>()
Il2CppReferenceArray<T>	.ToIl2CppReferenceArray<T>()

they can all be seamlessly converted to one another

e.g.

System.List<AbilityModel> list = new System.List<AbilityModel>();
Il2CppReferenceArray<AbilityModel> a = list.ToIl2CppReferenceArray<AbilityModel>();

Other

The Mod helper also contains other methods for dealing with them

let arr denote the relevant Array/List, e.g. LockList<BloonModel> or Il2CppReferenceArray<AbilityModel>with type TSource or T, and obj an Il2CppSystem.Object of type TCast

remove arr if you are doing it like this

// e.g. instead of
var dup =RelevantExtClass.Duplicate(arr);
// do
var dup = arr.Duplicate<T>()

The above will be true for the rest of this page

method	explanation
AddTo<TSource, TCast>(arr, obj)	attempts to cast obj into relevant type and add it to arr
Duplicate<T>(arr)	duplicates the arr
DuplicateAs<TSource, TCast>(arr)	returns a new arr where every item inside will be attempted to be casted to whatever TCast is
GetItemOfType<TSource, TCast>(arr)	returns the first item of arr that can be casted to TCast
GetItemsOfType<TSource, TCast>(arr)	returns the every item of arr that can be casted to TCast in an arr
HasItemsOfType<TSource, TCast>(arr)	returns whether arr has an object that can be casted to TCast
RemoveItem<TSource, TCast>(arr, obj)	returns an arr where one item is equal to obj is removed
RemoveItemOfType<TSource, TCast>(arr)	returns an arr where one item which can be type-casted to TCast is removed
RemoveItemsOfType<TSource, TCast>(arr)	returns an arr where every item which can be type-casted to TCast is removed

IEnumerable

(System.Collections.Generic)

The extension methods for this only allows for the following functions:

• Duplicate<T>(arr)
• DuplicateAs<TSource, TCast>(arr)

Conversion:

• .ToIl2CppList<T>()
• .ToLockList<T>()
• .ToIl2CppReferenceArray<T>()

There is also an ArgMax<T, K> function

public static T ArgMax<T, K>(this IEnumerable<T> source, Func<T, K> map, IComparer<K> comparer = null){
    //...
}

So you can put it simply

var itemWithMaxPropValue = collection.ArgMax(x => x.Property);

Il2CppGenericIEnumerable

(Il2CppSystem.Collections.Generic)

The extension methods for this only allows for the following conversions:

• .ToIl2CppList<T>()
• .ToList<T>()
• .ToLockList<T>()
• .ToIl2CppReferenceArray<T>()

as well as other methods

method	description
Count<T>(arr)	Get the total number of elements
GetItem<T>(arr, int index)	Return the Item at a specific index
GetEnumeratorCollections<T>(arr)	Get the IEnumerator as type Il2CppSystem.Collections.IEnumerator

Il2CppGenericIEnumerator

(Il2CppSystem.Collections)

eaxctly the same methods as Il2CppGenericIEnumerable without GetEnumeratorCollections<T>(arr)
