Question by Chickenator · Jan 02, 2015 at 11:19 AM · javascriptgameobjectgameobjectspickup

Cannot convert 'UnityEngine.GameObject[]' to 'UnityEngine.GameObject'.

I understand the meaning of the error I'm just unsure of how to fix it so my script works. Here's a little part of my script

 var pickableObject : GameObject;
 
 function Update () {
 
 pickableObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("pickUp");
 
 }

how could I get it so it's multiple objects? (If that makes sense)

hii..

 var pickableObject[] : GameObject;
 
 function Update () {
  
  pickableObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("pickUp");
 
       for(var i : int = 0 ; i < pickableObject.length ; i++)
       {
                  var o : GameObject = pickableObject[i];
       }
  
  }

This will work.

This will list all object with tag "pickUp" .

Or if u have single object with tag "pickUp". u can use GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag

@tanoshimi that means it would only do one out of the multiple objects wouldn't it?

@Chickenator, change your pickableObject to an array:

 var pickableObject[] : GameObject;

Well, yes, it's rather unclear from the limited code sample what your intention was! How many pickableObjects do you have, and what is this function meant to actually do with them?

@tanoshimi sorry I just wanted to see if I could get multiple objects into one variable. Next time I ask the question I will supply the whole script and try to explain a bit more in depth. Sorry if I wasted any time and @Landern yeah that works as well as the other answer, thanks
