Question by GerryM · Apr 27, 2012 at 02:44 PM · c#gameobjectcomponents

Check for empty gameobject in script?

Is there a way to check in a script if a gameobject is empty?

Checking for all documented components would not asure there is no custom script...

Any ideas?

Thanks

G

I think you might want to described what you mean by an "empty gameobject"?

"empty gameobject" = go that does not contain any components apart from the default transfer component; i.e. what you get when you choose GameObject/Create Empty from the menu.

You could probably use GameObject.GetComponentsInChildren or GameObject.GetComponents and check if there are any other components than Transform.

 var components = targetGameObject.GetComponents<Component>();
 // check components...

Then check the length of "components"- if it's greater than 1, return false, if it equals 1 and components[0] is a Transform, return true.
