GameObject.GetComponentsInChildren

Parameters

Description

Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children.

The search for components is carried out recursively on child objects, so it includes children of children, and so on.

using UnityEngine;

public class GetComponentsInChildrenExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Component[] hingeJoints;

        hingeJoints = GetComponentsInChildren(typeof(HingeJoint));

        if (hingeJoints != null)
        {
            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Try again, looking for inactive GameObjects
            Component[] hingesInactive = GetComponentsInChildren(typeof(HingeJoint), true);

            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingesInactive)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
    }
}

Parameters

Returns

T[] A list of all found components matching the specified type.

Description

Generic version. See the Generic Functions page for more details.

using UnityEngine;

public class GetComponentsInChildrenExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        HingeJoint[] hingeJoints;

        hingeJoints = GetComponentsInChildren<HingeJoint>();

        if (hingeJoints != null)
        {
            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Try again, looking for inactive GameObjects
            HingeJoint[] hingesInactive = GetComponentsInChildren<HingeJoint>(true);

            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingesInactive)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
    }
}

Parameters

Description

Return all found Components into List results.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;


public class GetComponentsInChildrenExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        List<HingeJoint> hingeJoints = new List<HingeJoint>();

        GetComponentsInChildren<HingeJoint>(false, hingeJoints);

        if (hingeJoints != null)
        {
            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Try again, looking for inactive GameObjects
            List<HingeJoint> hingesInactive = new List<HingeJoint>();

            GetComponentsInChildren<HingeJoint>(true, hingesInactive);

            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingesInactive)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
    }
