get first active child gameobject

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to find out how i can get the first active child gameobject from a parent for a couple of hours now.

Closest thing i came up with is this

                                        GameObject firstChild = transform.GetChild(0).gameObject;
                                        firstChild.SetActive(false);

But this returns the first gameObject even if it’s not active and i only need the first active one.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

//C#
GameObject firstActiveGameObject;

for (int i = 0; i < gameObject.transform.childCount; i++)
{
     if(gameObject.transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.activeSelf == true)
     {
           firstActiveGameObject = gameObject.transform.GetChild(i);
     }
}

This will set the first active child of a game object to the firstActiveGameObject variable.

transform.GetComponentsInChildren()[1]

int i = 0;
while(i < transform.childCount){
if (transform.GetChild(i).gameObject.active){
// transform.GetChild(i) is the GameObject you want
}
i++;
}
// If the code reaches here, that means there is either no active child or no child at all. You have to handle this yourself.
