❔ How to reference a list of objects that derive from 'Class<T>', if T is different for all of them?
I have a manager class, Manager<T>. The child classes for this set T to their own type, due to a fun Unity singleton implementation. So you will see:
- CameraManager: Manager<CameraManager>
- GameManager: Manager<GameManager>
Im trying some new things around my bootstrap process, and I wanted to be able to make a List<Manager> where I can iterate through them and call Manager<T>.Initialize().
However, my list declaration requires T to be quantified. Does anyone know how I might make the list accept the various generic implementations?

C# generics are very strict, and you can't ever refer to Manager class without specifying generic type
As a workaround, create a non-generic base class for your
Manager and define abstract Initialize method in it.Ah right, makes sense. I was just hoping it was something I missed haha.
Thanks for the advice!
You'd need a non generic base class or interface which you store and your list which defines the
Initialize() methodWas this issue resolved? If so, run
/close - otherwise I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
