GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag not working after LoadLevelAdditiveAsync

Questions & Answers

Hi,

Consider the following:

	void Start () {
		StartCoroutine (this.LoadLevelInBackground());
	}

	private IEnumerator LoadLevelInBackground() {
            yield return Application.LoadLevelAdditiveAsync ("SomeLevel");
            this.LoadReady();
	}

	private void LoadReady() {
        	Debug.Log("Destroying current menu canvas...");
		Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("MenuCanvas"));
		Debug.Log("Activating level contents...");
		foreach (GameObject gameObject in GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("LevelContents")) {
			Debug.Log("Activating " + gameObject);
			gameObject.SetActive(true);
		}
	}

The objects with the tag “LevelContents” come from the SomeLevel scene that is additively loaded. Unfortunately, the GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag always returns an empty array even though I can see the objects in the Inspector already loaded into the current scene.

Is there a way to make this work?

Thanks in advance.

Answering my own question… FindWithTag returns only active objects, which was the problem all along since I wanted to find inactive objects.

I guess reading the documentation helps.

Thanks anyway :slight_smile:
