n | Name of child to be found. |
Transform The returned child transform or null if no child is found.
Finds a child by n
and returns it.
If no child with n
can be found, null is returned.
If n
contains a '/' character it will access the Transform in the hierarchy like a path name.
Note: Find does not perform a recursive descend down a Transform hierarchy.
#pragma strict public var player; public var gun; public var ammo; //Invoked when a button is clicked. //Finds and assigns the child of the player named "Gun". gun = player.transform.Find("Gun").gameObject; //If the child was found. if (gun != null) { //Find the child named "ammo" of the gameobject "magazine" (magazine is a child of "gun"). ammo = gun.transform.Find("magazine/ammo"); } else Debug.Log("No child with the name 'Gun' attached to the player");

As described Find does not descend the Transform. Find will only search the given list of children looking for a named Transform.
A GameObject with three children. Find() does not find the third child.

// ExampleClass has a GameObject with three spheres attached. // Two of these are children of the GameObject. The third // transform, sphere3, is a child of sphere2. Find() does // not find this child.

if (result) { Debug.Log("Found sphere3"); } else { Debug.Log("Did not find sphere3"); } } }
