using GameObject.Find to get an array of gameobjects

Unity Engine
1

as the title says

I have a number of game objects named PlanetA

I would like to get all of these into one GameObject array via a find function, how would I do that?

I’d suggest using a tag rather than the name, and then you can do “var myObjectArray = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag(“PlanetA”);”.

Alright, thank you.

Another issue I’ve run into similiar to this is I am trying to get a global builtin array of components.

var planets: planetImpact[];


function Awake()
{

	var planetObjects : GameObject[];
	
	var impactArray =  new Array();
	
	planetObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("planet");
	
	for ( i=0; i < planetObjects.length; i++){
	
		impactArray[i] = planetObjects[i].GetComponent("planetImpact");
			
	}	
	
	var planets : planetImpact[] = impactArray.ToBuiltin(planetImpact);

}

This works. But the line

var planets : planetImpact[ ] = impactArray.ToBuiltin(planetImpact);

This is not assigning the js array to the global builtin array, but is rather assigning the js array to a builtin array local to the awake function. How would I go about assigning the js array to a global builtin array?

NEVERMIND

I figured it out

planets = impactArray.ToBuiltin(planetImpact);

:roll:

I know I know. That was stupid.
