DoesGameObjectPathMatch()

static bool PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.DoesGameObjectPathMatch ( Transform  t, string  requiredPath  )

inlinestatic

Returns true if the end of a transform's hierarchy path matches a specified path.

For example, if the transform's hierarchy is A/B/C/D, it will match a requiredPath of C/D.

FindFirstObjectByType()

static UnityEngine.Object PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.FindFirstObjectByType ( System::Type  type )

FindFirstObjectByType< T >()

static T PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.FindFirstObjectByType< T > ( )

FindObjectsByType()

static UnityEngine.Object[] PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.FindObjectsByType ( System::Type  type )

inlinestatic

FindObjectsByType< T >()

static T[] PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.FindObjectsByType< T > ( )

FindObjectsOfTypeAlsoInactive< T >()

static T[] PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.FindObjectsOfTypeAlsoInactive< T > ( bool  checkAllScenes = true )

inlinestatic

Finds all objects of a type, including on inactive GameObjects.

Parameters

checkAllScenes

If true, check all open scenes; otherwise only check active scene.

Component

GameObjectHardFind() [1/2]

static GameObject PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.GameObjectHardFind ( string  goName, bool  checkAllScenes = true  )

inlinestatic

Finds an in-scene GameObject by name even if it's inactive.

Parameters

goName	Name of the GameObject.
checkAllScenes	If true, check all open scenes; otherwise only check active scene.

Returns

The GameObject.

GameObjectHardFind() [2/2]

static GameObject PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.GameObjectHardFind ( string  goName, string  tag, bool  checkAllScenes = true  )

inlinestatic

Finds an in-scene GameObject by name and tag even if it's inactive.

Parameters

goName	GameObject name to search for.
tag	Tag to search for.
checkAllScenes	If true, check all open scenes; otherwise only check active scene.

Returns

GetComponentAnywhere< T >()

static T PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.GetComponentAnywhere< T > ( GameObject  gameObject )

inlinestatic

Like GetComponentInChildren(), but also searches parents.

Returns

The component, or null if not found.

Parameters

gameObject

Game object to search.

Template Parameters

T	The component type.

Component

GetGameObjectHeight()

static float PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.GetGameObjectHeight ( GameObject  gameObject )

inlinestatic

Gets the height of the game object based on its collider.

This only works if the game object has a CharacterController, CapsuleCollider, BoxCollider, or SphereCollider.

Returns

The game object height if it has a recognized type of collider; otherwise 0.

Parameters

gameObject

Game object.

GetHierarchyPath()

static string PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.GetHierarchyPath ( Transform  t )

inlinestatic

Returns the full hierarchy path.

Parameters

current

Returns

IsPrefab()

static bool PixelCrushers.GameObjectUtility.IsPrefab ( GameObject  go )

inlinestatic

Determines if a GameObject reference is a non-instantiated prefab or a scene object.

If go is null, active in the scene, or its parent is active in the scene, it's considered a scene object. Otherwise this method searches all scene objects for matches. If it doesn't find any matches, this is a prefab.

Returns

true if a prefab; otherwise, false.

Parameters

go	GameObject.
