Select all game objects with a specific value

Questions & Answers
1

I have a set of game objects with a value (called ID) in an attached script.

is it possible to select all the game objects with the same value and place them into an array?

If they all had the same tag I could do it with the following code:

 allSegments = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("Segment");

However, tagging is not an option, so im looking for a solution which can use the vairable in an attached script. Something like

 allSegments = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithComponent<script>.id == 4;

is this possible?

You must write youself function. For example, all your objects have one parent object by name “Contener”. Than find all objects with same “MyScript” with value id== 4. I write example(write on CSharp):

 private List<Transform> myList = new List<Transform>(); //our list for all object with correct tag

 void Start() {
  myList.Clear(); //clear list
  this.myFindChild(GameObject.Find("Contener").transform, 4); //find all objects with id==4
 }

 //recurrent functions
 public void myFindChild(Transform tpParent, int tpId) {
  for(int i = 0; i < tpParent.childCount; i++) { //See all child and see they child
   if (tpParent.GetChild(i).GetComponent<myScript>() != null) { //check scripts of child
    if(tpParent.GetChild(i).GetComponent<myScript>().id == tpId)
     myList.Add(tpParent.GetChild(i));
    }
   }
   //See childs of current child
   this.myFindChild(tpParent.GetChild(i), tpTag);
  }
 }

I hope that it will help you.
