Pragma downcast on getcomponentsinchildren

Questions & Answers

Hi,
The first code requires pragma downcast (but works ingame), the second code does not give compiler warnings but throws a null reference error.
I rather don’t use pragma downcast but can;t figure out why the 2nd code does not find the rigidbody

	// requires pragma downcast
	var RigidBodyArray	:Component[];
	RigidBodyArray  = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren(Rigidbody);
	
	for(var rbody :Rigidbody in RigidBodyArray)
	{
		DoStuff();
	}

	// Causes null references in game
	var RigidBodyArray	:Rigidbody[];
	RigidBodyArray  = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren(Rigidbody) as Rigidbody[];

	for(var rbody :Rigidbody in RigidBodyArray)
	{
		DoStuff();
	}

Did you try :

var RigidBodyArray :Component[];
RigidBodyArray = GameObject.GetComponentsInChildren(Rigidbody);

for(var currComp :Component in RigidBodyArray)
{
    var rBody:RigidBody = currComp as RigidBody;
    DoStuff();
}
