Can you find all GameObjects with a certain tag, and add them to an array, using C#?

Hello all!

I’ve been battling with this for a day or so now but I’m still prety new to C# and can’t figure out what to do next.

I’m trying to add some UI buttons that are on a Canvas to an array so that I can apply some actions to them.

Here’s what I’ve got so far:

public GameObject[] buttonArray;

void Start()
{

buttonArray = new GameObject[4];

for (int i = 0; i < buttonArray.Length; i++)
{
buttonArray *= GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("UI_Button");*

}

}
The problem I’m having is that it only finds one of the buttons and adds it 4 times.

use FindGameObjectsWithTag() to get the array for you… so just do

buttonArray = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("UI_Button");

instead of your for loop.

EDIT: you don’t need to initialize it yourself either
