Race Conditions calling SetActive on a hierarchy
I'm restoring state between menu screens with code like the following:
parent.SetActive(true);
GameObject button = parent.FindRecursive(defaultButttonName);
CameraHelper.SetSelected(button);
The problem is that button is not active. It seems it takes time for children to be activated when SetActive is called.
How do people avoid these kinds of race conditions?
I highly doubt there can be any race conditions with setting objects active/inactive. It runs in the same thread and I've never encountered any problems like that.
There may be a problem with activation if you make object inactive from code or from editor interface(unchecking the box near gameobject's name). Try to leave object active in scene, then make in inactive from code. Or vice-versa, I don't remember exactly which way it was.
