    After upgrading a project, I got one warning that I can not seem to fix.

    At this line:
    Code (JavaScript):
    1. for(var bits : MeshRenderer in mrenders)
    2.         bits.enabled = false;
    Here's where the variable "mrenders" is established (a few lines before the code above):
    Code (JavaScript):
    1. var mrenders = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren(MeshRenderer);
    Was something in the API changed that could cause this, or did I just not notice this warning before?
    I kind of get what a downcast is, I just don't how to fix it in this instance.

    Instead of doing

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren(MeshRenderer);
    3.  
    try

    Code (csharp):
    1.  
    2. gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren.<MeshRenderer>();
    3.
