hello, what am i doing wrong? sorry im new but i was sure this was going to work, thanks. (im swapping the tag for a string?)
public string Hello;
void Update()
{
GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag(Hello).SetActive (false); //goes wrong here
}
Hello,I was trying to make it easier for me so instead of making 100’s of scripts to find a gameobject with a tag, thought i would use string instead, so i can edit it outside the script. here’s my code, but it doesnt work? anyways around this. thanks
public string OUTSpeechBubble_NAME;
void Update()
{
GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag (OUTSpeechBubble_NAME).SetActive (false); //this doesnt work
}
Make sure
- You have assigned this public variable a value in the inspector.
- You actually have a game object with that tag name in your game.
To check the first point, you can simply put a Debug.Log statement.
To check the second point, you can simply put the double-quoted raw string in that line and check if it is working.
PS: Don’t use FindGameObjectWithTag method in Update loop. This is a heavy method which checks each and every game object. Sooner or later you will find yourself in Performance issues.
