Children Mesh Render Issues.
I am attempting to turn off all of the child objects SkinnedMeshRenderers and I am using his script:
var theObject : GameObject;
function Update ()
{
theObject.GetComponentsInChildren.<SkinnedMeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
}
However I am receiving this error on run-time:
MissingFieldException: UnityEngine.SkinnedMeshRenderer[].enabled
Would I have to call the individual renderers, or is enabled not used for renderers?
Yes, you have to iterate through all the components and set each one's active state seperately. You can't use .enabled (or similar variables) with an array of objects.
Chemo is right. Also, I would add that doing that each update might not be a good idea in general.
Well that kinda sucks, so if you have several objects, with each object having various child renderers you would have to call each and every one? What is the point of "GetComponentsInChildren" then?
The point of GetComponentsInChildren is, as the function name says, get all the components in the object's children :D Since each component can have different values (active state etc.), it's not possible or even reasonable to treat them like one conglomerate.
