Why GetComponentInChildren is not working ?
Hello,
I have a script named CloseTutorialTower located on Quit child.
OtherParents
=> Tutorial
=>=>InGameTutorial
=>=>=>RPGDialog
=>=>=>=>Quit
I use the following code to access the script :
GameObject rpgDialog = GameObject.Find("Tutorial");
Debug.Log(rpgDialog);
CloseTutorialTower zaScripts = rpgDialog.GetComponentInChildren<CloseTutorialTower>();
zaScripts.OnClick();
But, even though it find the object Tutorial, it does no find the script on the childrent of Tutorial.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks
Could you have other "Tutorial" objects in scene? If so, maybe the wrong one is being returned by Find
I have only one Tutorial object. The thing is that the children of Tutorial are created each time the scene starts by script. Could this be the problem ? I thought that Start() runs after all the objects in the scene were awekened, no?
Hey,
I repost here, because i have a similar problem :
Debug.Log(_enemiPrefab.transform.GetComponentInChildren<Renderer>()); --> "Null"
Debug.Log(_enemiPrefab.transform.FindChild("Skin").renderer); --> (UnityEngine.$$anonymous$$eshRenderer)
Why it isn't working ?

I've converted your answer into a comment.
Well you reposted your problem... Are you sure that it's not the problem described by "Paulius Liekis"?

Maybe that script is disabled? You have to pass true to GetComponentInChildren if you want to get disabled components.
I think you are correct. I found out that the issue was because that the child I was looking for was awakened in the scene after I was perfor$$anonymous$$g the search for the script component.
I just moved it in the code, just after I was awekening the child.
@primus88: That's why i usually preach to use Awake to initialize the class itself and use Start to setup links between different objects.
actually you may try GetComponentsInChildren(true) https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentsInChildren.html there is a boolean parameter allow you to include inactive objects
GameObject rpgDialog = GameObject.Find("Tutorial");
Debug.Log(rpgDialog);
CloseTutorialTower zaScripts = rpgDialog.GetComponentInChildren<CloseTutorialTower>();
if(zaScripts) zaScripts.OnClick();
//good luck
Since GetComponent() works on inactive objects, you can also get the transform's child first and then use GetComponent()
yourGameObject.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<TextMesh>().text = "Your Text";
