Leaving only one camera instance active/undestroyed at runtime?

Hi,

I’m working with a project that uses multiple cameras, but I only want one active at runtime depending on the build settings. Right now, my two cameras are attached to one parent ‘CameraSystem’ object, with a script with this function in it:

void Awake () {
		GameObject cameraOne = GetObjectByName ("Camera_1");
		GameObject cameraTwo = GetObjectByName ("Camera_2");
		#if CAM_ONE
		cameraOne.SetActive(true);
		cameraTwo.SetActive (false);
		Destroy(cameraTwo);
		cameraOne.tag = "MainCamera";
		#elif CAM_TWO
		cameraTwo.SetActive(true);
		cameraOne.SetActive (false);
		Destroy(cameraOne);
		cameraTwo.tag = "MainCamera";
		#endif
	}

I have Cloud Build set up to automatically change the scripting define symbols, so it’s not an issue with the code not running- I’ve confirmed this as working in the editor, and in my local builds. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?

EDIT: “GetObjectByName” is as follows:

static GameObject GetObjectByName(string name) {
		List<GameObject> objects = GetObjects ();
		foreach (GameObject obj in objects) {
			if (obj.name == name)
				return obj;
		}
		return null;
	}

static List<GameObject> GetObjects() {
		Object[] tempList = Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll (typeof(GameObject));
		GameObject temp;
		List<GameObject> realList = new List<GameObject> ();
		foreach (Object obj in tempList) {
			if (obj is GameObject) {
				temp = (GameObject)obj;
				if (temp.hideFlags == HideFlags.None)
					realList.Add ((GameObject)obj);
			}
		}
		return realList;
	}

I figured it out- the solution was to use DestroyImmediate() instead of just Destroy(). I’m not sure why this fixes it, but.
