Question by valtteri_m · Apr 27, 2015 at 04:59 PM · javascriptparentchildfindname

Find gameobject with name and if child of Player

The title should be enough to know what I want,

 var xGUI : int;

 function Start(){
     var Player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
     
     Item = FindObjectsOfType(GameObject);
     //Creates New Array According to name specifc buildings in Item and 
     //creates the correct amount of elements for that Array
     var count: int = 0;
     var GO: GameObject;
     //if Item name is ItemHolder and is a parent of Player add 1 to count
     for(GO in Item){    
         if(GO.name == ItemHolder && GO.parent != null){
             count ++;
         }
     }
     //If this is the first item set xGUI to 100 (Deafult)
     if(count < 1){
         xGUI = 10;
     }else{
         //110 x the amount of other ItemHolders (not counting this)
         xGUI = count * 110 - 110;
     }
 }


I have added info for the important lines, I hope this is clear enough. Please help!

This should do it. (Sorry to post in C# but you get the idea)

 public static Transform FindChildByNameRecursive(Transform me, string name)
 {
     if (me.name == name)
         return me;
     for (int i = 0; i < me.childCount; i++)
     {
         var child = me.GetChild(i);
         var found = child.FindChildByNameRecursive(name);
         if (found != null)
             return found;
     }
     return null;
 }

 public static void FindChildrenByNameRecursive(Transform me, string value, List<Transform> list)
 {
     if (me.name == value)
     {
         list.Add(me);
     }
     for (int i = 0; i < me.childCount; i++)
     {
         var child = me.GetChild(i);
         child.FindChildrenByNameRecursive(value, list);
     }
 }

You can use it like

 var Player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
 var ItemHolderList = new List<Transform>();
 FindChildrenByNameRecursive(Player.transform, ItemHolder, ItemHolderList);
