| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| type | The type of object to find. |
| findObjectsInactive | Whether to include components attached to inactive GameObjects. If you don't specify this parameter, this function doesn't include inactive objects in the results. |
| sortMode | Whether and how to sort the returned array. Not sorting the array makes this function run significantly faster. |
Object[] The array of objects found matching the type specified.
Retrieves a list of all loaded objects of Type type.
This doesn't return Assets (for example meshes, textures, or prefabs). It also doesn't return objects that have HideFlags.DontSave set.
Use Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll to avoid these limitations.
In Editor, this searches the Scene view by default. If you want to find an object in the Prefab stage, see the StageUtility APIs.
using UnityEngine;
// Ten GameObjects are created and have TextMesh and // CanvasRenderer components added. // When the game runs press the Space key to display the // number of TextMesh and CanvasRenderer components.

for (var i = 0; i < count; ++i) { gameObjects[i] = new GameObject(); expectedTextMeshObjects[i] = gameObjects[i].AddComponent<TextMesh>(); expectedCanvasObjects[i] = gameObjects[i].AddComponent<CanvasRenderer>(); } }
void Update() { if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) { var foundCanvasObjects = FindObjectsByType<CanvasRenderer>(FindObjectsSortMode.None); var foundTextMeshObjects = FindObjectsByType(typeof(TextMesh), FindObjectsSortMode.None); Debug.Log(foundCanvasObjects + " : " + foundCanvasObjects.Length); Debug.Log(foundTextMeshObjects + " : " + foundTextMeshObjects.Length); } } }
