Question by Orloffyeah · Jan 13, 2013 at 09:32 PM · triggergunmultiplegetcomponentinchildren

GetComponent in Multiple Children

Hi, I have been working on a script in which at the moment taht a player passes thorugh a trigger it activates its weapons, but the problem that I am having is that is activating only one of four weapons that are exactly identical. I tried with GetComponentsInChildren but it send a compiler error. How could I make it so that it activates all of the children?

Trigger Script: #pragma strict

 function OnTriggerEnter(col : Collider)
 {
 
     if (col.gameObject.name == "Minigun_Trigger")
     {
         GetComponentInChildren(Gun_Script).weaponUnlocked = true;
         GetComponentInChildren(RocketLauncher).rocketsUnlocked = false;
         GetComponentInChildren(SmokeCreator).smokeUnlocked = false;
         yield WaitForSeconds(40);
         GetComponentInChildren(Gun_Script).weaponUnlocked = false;
         
     }
     
 }

use GetComponentsInChildren.

GetComponentsInChildren will return an array of component scripts and then iterate through that.

for(var gs:Gun_Script in GetComponentInChildren(Gun_Script)) gs.weaponUnlocked = true;

I'm putting in tomekkie2's comment as an answer here so that others can see the solution more easily:

Use GetComponentsInChildren ().

GetComponentsInChildren will return an array of component scripts and then iterate through that.

 for (var gs:Gun_Script in GetComponentInChildren(Gun_Script))
 {
     gs.weaponUnlocked = true;
 }

@tomekkie2: if you'd like to submit this as an answer yourself, Orloffyeah can mark it as the answer instead; it's just far more useful for a question to have an accepted answer so people can find it and Orloffyeah's accept rate isn't negatively impacted.

Geo.Ego: If you have the karma, there should be a round button with a curved arrow in it, next to Delete and Upvote, which is 'convert comment to answer' which would take care of this for you.
