getting children of the parent but excluding objects with certain tag

Questions & Answers

hi guys, i needs some help with getting children of the parent but excluding the objects with certain tag, here is the code i used so far:

//GET CURRENT CAMERA SELECTION
selection=cam.currentTarget;

//GET THE PARENT OF THAT OBJECT
selectionParent=selection.parent.transform;

//THIS WILL GET ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE PARENT          
children=Array(selectionParent.GetComponentsInChildren(Transform));

this code will return all children of the parent no matter the tag, so how to include the checking of the tag into this. for example if the tag is "exclude" how to get the children of the parent but only with other or no tag that is "exclude"

thanks!

Something like this:

children = new Array();
for(var child : Transform in selectionParent.GetComponentsInChildren(Transform))
{
    if (child.tag != "exclude")
        children.Add(child);
}

Another option is to use transform.GetChild() see GetComponentsInChildren - not parent and children. Restriction: It works if all the children have the component you are looking for so it works for Transform.
