Fill array with Child of a GameObject via Script [solved]

I have in my Scene a Gameobject with childs
All childs have the name SpawnPoint

Code (CSharp):

1.  [SerializeField]
2.     private Transform[] spawnPoints;

How can i add the SpawnPoints via Script?
I thought it would work with:

Code (CSharp):

1.  spawnPoints = transform.Find("SpawnPointers/SpawnPoints")[0];

But is not right.

 

Since it's already a serialized array, why can't you just drag the items into the Property field in the inspector? That's what the SerializeField is for

 

I have more than 1 scene i want to fill in the automatic way

 

Transform.Find searches that transform it is called on, not the scene. First, get a reference to the root transform, then search that transform.

Code (csharp):

1. GameObject rootGO = GameObject.Find("SpawnPointers");
2. spawnPoints = new Transform[rootGO.transform.childCount];
3. for(int i = 0; i < rootGO.transform.childCount; i++)
4.    spawnPoints[i] = rootGO.transform[i];

 

gives me an error

Code (CSharp):

1. cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'Transform'

 

Whoops, I think that was some very old syntax or I just misremembered very badly. Replace the last line with

Code (csharp):

1. spawnPoints[i] = rootGO.transform.GetChild(i);

 

Great thank you, it works now.

In the meantime I would have done it by hand, but that was too easy
