Array works in editor, not in build

[Teadaddy]

I am trying to turn off all instances of game objects tagged “infoCard”, then turn one back on based on a UI click. The code I made works as expected when played from the editor, but not when I build. Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance!

the code is as follows-

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;

public class triggerCardFromProduct: MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject theInfoCard;
private GameObject turnOffCards;

	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){
turnOffCards = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("infoCard");

	{
		for (int i = 0; i < turnOffCards.Length; i++)
			turnOffCards *.SetActive (false);*

•   }*
  

if (other.CompareTag (“MainCamera”))

•   {*
  

•   	theInfoCard.SetActive (true);*
  

•   }*
  

• }*
  }

I can’t answer your question exactly, but I can give you a solution that will fix a major problem with your code anyway, which is that it relies on tags. Tags provide the functionality that you’re looking for but it’s much much better for you to manage those objects yourself. Doing so will likely resolve your problem.

You should consider making a “singleton” class. This is a Manager class that has itself as a static member. So it would go like this (pseudocode).

YourManager Class : Monobehavior
{
     public static YourManager instance;
  public List<GameObject> yourObjectlist  = new List<GameObject>();
      void Awake()
      {
          instance = this;
       }
}

OK, so now all you do is add those “infoCard” objects to yourObjectList in their start function with YourManager.instance.YourObjectList.Add(gameObject). Now you can access that List from anywhere in code.

In your trigger enter function you would then iterate through YourManager.instance.YourObjectList and set all those objects to inactive. You could do other comparisons this way.

Are all of the assets being loaded by this array in the /Resources folder? If you have some resource types not within the /Resources folder and no active instances of it are loaded in the scene, the asset will not load.

@ZeroSumGames thank you for your response, my lack of knowledge leaves me wondering - where/how do I build this object list? I expected that it would be in the inspector when applying this script to a game object but I was mistaken, or perhaps I am doing it wrong? I will continue to try to figure it out any pushes in the right direction would be appreciated and thanks again for the answer.
