Trying to get a child component of an Image (Making a floating healthbar)
I'm making a health bar on enemies (like in Destiny) but problem is I can not access the child of the health bar image that I instantiate on the canvas.
This is my health bar prefab I tried GetcomponentInChildren on Healthbar in my script and use .Fillamount but instead of getting Health Bar Value fill amount changed I get Health Bar Background fill amount, So anyone has idea how to access child of image within script? P.S. I also considered instantiate these two image separately, haven't tried it yet I think it would work, but It would be a lot more wise to do it this way.
When using GetComponentInChildren, unity does a Breadth-first search, meaning you get the first image it encounters, in this case the background image.
There's several ways around this, here's 2:
Iterate through all children, using GetComponentsInChildren, store them in a collection(array/list), and access it by its index.
You can create a script on the instantiated object, that reference the image you need. Then all you need to do is call the script, and get the reference from there.
