Easy way to find all types attached to gameobject parent when there are like 10 or more childen/children/children etc?
Hello,
I have randomly generating spaceships and stations and I need to be able to easily find all types attached to the highest parents transform.
Is it possible to iterate or something without writing 100 lines of iterations of foreach loops? EG:
for (int i = 0; i < gameObject.transform.childCount; i++)
{
if (transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.GetComponent<Weapon>())
{
weaponModulesList.Add(transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.GetComponent<Weapon>());
}
if (gameObject.transform.GetChild(i).childCount > 0)
{
for (int ii = 0; ii < gameObject.transform.GetChild(i).childCount; ii++)
{
if (transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.transform.GetChild(ii).gameObject.GetComponent<Weapon>())
{
weaponModulesList.Add(transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.transform.GetChild(ii).gameObject.GetComponent<Weapon>());
}
if (gameObject.transform.GetChild(i).GetChild(ii).childCount > 0)
{
for (int iii = 0; iii < gameObject.transform.GetChild(i).GetChild(ii).childCount; iii++)
{
if (transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.transform.GetChild(ii).gameObject.gameObject.transform.GetChild(iii).GetComponent<Weapon>())
{
weaponModulesList.Add(transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.transform.GetChild(ii).gameObject.gameObject.transform.GetChild(iii).GetComponent<Weapon>());
}
}
}
}
}
}
Do I have to do this 100 times or is there a better and quicker way? Please help?

If you mean to get all Weapon Components you may use
Weapon[] myWeaponArray = parentGameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Weapon>();
This will return also Weapon Type components from parent Object too.
