var enemyUnit : GameObject;
var enemyAIScript : EnemyAI;
var enemyHuntScript : EnemyHunt;
function Start(){
enemyUnit = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(“Enemy”);
enemyAIScript = enemyUnit.GetComponent.();
enemyHuntScript = enemyUnit.GetComponent.();
}

Hi all.

I’ve got a script that accesses an objects(The one tagged with enemy). I’ve only posted a small section of the script but basically the other functions change if the AIScript and HuntScript are active or not.

I have 5 enemies in this scene but script only accesses one when I need it to get all the enemies. If I try GetComponentsWithTag rather than GetComponentWithTag I get a “BCE0022: Cannot convert ‘UnityEngine.GameObject’ to ‘UnityEngine.GameObject’” error. How can I get the script to retrieve more than one instance of an object.

Thanks

What you tried was to make many enemies into 1 gameobject variable, thats why you get an error

basically if you want to retreive many enemies then you need to declare a var enemyUnity : GameObject as an array like this var enemyUnity : GameObject

now what you did before will work

var enemyUnits : GameObject; //Array of GameObject;
var enemyAIScript : EnemyAI;
var enemyHuntScript : EnemyHunt;

function Start() {
	enemyUnits = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");
	for (var enemy : GameObject in enemyUnits) {
		enemyAIScript = enemyUnit.GetComponent(EnemyAI);
		enemyHuntScript = enemyUnit.GetComponent.(EnemyHunt);
		//example
		enemyAIScript.enable = false; //example
	}
}

//or you can find all script:

var enemyAIScripts : EnemyAI[];			//Array of EnemyAI
var enemyHuntScripts : EnemyHunt[];		//Array of EnemyHunt

function Start() {
	enemyAIScripts = FindObjectsOfType(EnemyAI);
	enemyHuntScripts = FindObjectsOfType(EnemyHunt);
	
	for (var enemyAI : EnemyAI in enemyAIScripts) {
		//...
	}
}
