Declaration

public Component[] GetComponents(Type type);

Parameters

type The type of component to retrieve.

Description

Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject.

Note: If the type you request is a derivative of MonoBehaviour and the associated script can not be loaded then this function will return `null` for that component.

// Disable the spring on all HingeJoints in this game object
using UnityEngine;

public class GetComponentsExample : MonoBehaviour { // Disable the spring on all HingeJoints in this game object

void Start() { Component[] hingeJoints;

hingeJoints = GetComponents(typeof(HingeJoint));

foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints) joint.useSpring = false; } }

Declaration

public T[] GetComponents();

Description

Generic version of this method.

Note: If the type you request is a derivative of MonoBehaviour and the associated script can not be loaded then this function will return `null` for that component.

// Disable the spring on all HingeJoints in this game object
using UnityEngine;

public class GetComponentsExample : MonoBehaviour { // Disable the spring on all HingeJoints in this game object

void Start() { HingeJoint[] hingeJoints;

hingeJoints = GetComponents<HingeJoint>();

foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints) joint.useSpring = false; } }

Declaration

public void GetComponents(Type type, List<Component> results);

Parameters

type The type of Component to retrieve.
