GameObject.GetComponentsInParent

Parameters

Description

Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents.

The search for components is carried out recursively on parent objects, so it includes parents of parents, and so on.
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.

using UnityEngine;

public class GetComponentsInParentExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        Component[] hingeJoints;

        hingeJoints = GetComponentsInParent(typeof(HingeJoint));

        if (hingeJoints != null)
        {
            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Try again, looking for inactive GameObjects
            Component[] hingesInactive = GetComponentsInParent(typeof(HingeJoint), true);

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

Parameters

Description

Generic version. See the Generic Functions page for more details.

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.

using UnityEngine;

public class GetComponentsInParentExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        HingeJoint[] hingeJoints;

        hingeJoints = GetComponentsInParent<HingeJoint>();

        if (hingeJoints != null)
        {
            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Try again, looking for inactive GameObjects
            HingeJoint[] hingesInactive = GetComponentsInParent<HingeJoint>(true);

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

Parameters

Description

Find Components in GameObject or parents, and return them in List results.

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.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class GetComponentsInParentExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    void Start()
    {
        List<HingeJoint> hingeJoints = new List<HingeJoint>();

        GetComponentsInParent<HingeJoint>(false, hingeJoints);

        if (hingeJoints != null)
        {
            foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
                joint.useSpring = false;
        }
        else
        {
            // Try again, looking for inactive GameObjects
            List<HingeJoint> hingesInactive = new List<HingeJoint>();

            GetComponentsInParent<HingeJoint>(true, hingesInactive);

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