//Use on a large spherecollider with trigger enabled around character to disable particles on enemies when they are out of sight
function Update()

Ok, so this is a script that should disable particles when they are too far from the player. This code does run, however it gives me the following error:
MissingFieldException: Field 'UnityEngine.Component[].enabled' not found.

So I looked it up and it seems that for some reason gameObject.active = true/false
would work better in some cases, so I tried that and it just gave me a different error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Right now I have a felling that it has something to do with where my particles are, as my enemies have the standard assets “Fire1” particle system on them and the spawners for these enemies have the “Enemy” tag.
The spawners are parent objects of the actual enemies, so I thought this should just work, but it seems that somehow it can’t find the particle systems?
Any idea what is going on? Could it perhaps be that GetComponentsInChildren doesn’t work on child object of the parents child objects?
Anyways, Thanks in advance!
