Looking for explanation of returning a GridPosition list

[mknightdev]

Would anyone be able to explain the approach of creating a list in this function within the SpinAction script? I’ve never seen, nor used this way before.

    public override List<GridPosition> GetValidActionGridPositionList()
    {
        GridPosition unitGridPosition = unit.GetGridPosition();

        return new List<GridPosition>
        {
            unitGridPosition
        };
    }

Am I right in thinking that it’s another form of:

listName.Add(value);

Any help would be appreciated, and I apologise if this is such a basic thing.

Yup exactly, that’s just the syntax for creating and immediately adding elements to the list, it constructs the object then adds any elements inside the { } code block, you can even add multiple and separate them with a comma { element1, element2 }

The end result is the exact same as

List<GridPosition> gridPositionList = new List<GridPosition>();
gridPositionList.Add(unitGridPosition);
return gridPositionList;

Perfect, thank you! I’ll be using the new way now in future.
