Getting all the GameObjects of a scene

Unity Engine
1

Hi! I know this could be a very stupid question, but is there any way to get an array or something with all the game objects that are at base level, i mean, with no parent?

Thanks in advance

One way would be to use Object.FindObjectsOfType() to find all objects of type GameObject. Any game object for which transform.parent is null will be a top-level object in the hierarchy.

Ok thanks! I have never seen utility for GetObjectsOfType until now :slight_smile:

Note that it’s mentioned occasionally that FindObjectsOfType() can be slow. Whether this will matter for you or not depends on how you’re using it exactly, but I just thought I’d mention it. (My advice would be not to worry about it unless you find that, in practice, it’s causing a performance problem.)

Ok! I was planning to use it only when the game gets paused and unpaused, to notify all of them the state change. But I think I’m going to register them in one manager and access them through an array!

Thanks again for the help :slight_smile:
