GetComponents<> only returning first component

Question

Hello. I've been experimenting with a trigger system for my game. However, my code has recently started returning only the first component of GetComponents<> instead of the whole list of components. Here is the relevant code loop.

 foreach (TriggerEffect Effect in GetComponents<TriggerEffect>()) {
 
             Debug.Log(Effect);
 
             if (Effect.IsObjectiveEffect) return;
 
             times.Add(Effect.Activate());
 
             if (times[times.Count-1] == -1)
                 WaitForReturn++;                
 }

Whenever I switch my components around, it will always return the first TriggerEffect, depending on their order in the editor.

Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening?

Is the first one found always "IsObjectiveEffect?" If so, you're ending the loop when you tell it to return so it won't look through the others. You might want to use a break there instead. The rest of the code looks sound, so that's the only thing jumping out at me.

Right, would be my first guess as well. An early exit is an early exit

Makes sense. I realized that after doing some tests with debug statements. Also I believe it is continue, not break, which I think would also stop the foreach.

Try GetComponents(typeof(TriggerEffect));
