Detect clone using FindGameObjectsWithTag method.

Hi guys, long story short I’m looking to find a way to count targets as they appear on the screen. If I have one already in the scene I have no issues, it counts. But since I’m using a spawn script it won’t count the clones, any ideas? PS: I’m still new to scripting, this was created using the BurgZerg tutorials, Cheers guys!

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class PlayerTargets : MonoBehaviour {
	
	
	public List<Transform> targets;
	private Transform selectedTarget;		
	private GameObject target;

	void Start () {

		targets = new List<Transform> ();
		AddAllEnemies ();

	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{
		
	}
	
	void OnGUI() {
        GUI.Label (new Rect (10, 70, 1000, 20), "Enemies: " + targets.ToString ());	
	}
	
	public void AddAllEnemies ()
	{
		targets.Clear ();
		GameObject[] go = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("enemy");

		foreach (GameObject enemy in go)
		AddTarget (enemy.transform);
	}

	public void AddTarget (Transform enemy)
	{
		targets.Add (enemy);
	}
}

I don’t know I tend to be picky on some thing, but why not dedicate a script solely for focusing on spawning? This is a lot more intuitive and encapsulates it from all other objects. If you insist on your method, then when you create the clone, create a tag “Clone”. Then use GameObject.FindObjectsWithTag(“Clone”) which should find all your clone objects and put them into a list.

So, your clone should obviously be a prefab, just give it a “Clone” tag and it should all work nicely.
