Get Two TMP but in same GameObject

Hello,

I would like to get two TextMeshPro gameobjects contained in the same parent gameobject, I searched for solutions I found nothing conclusive.

If someone wants to help me, I thank.

here is the code :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using TMPro;
5.  
6. public class ShowFinalResult : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     /////////////////// Private Section //////////////////
9.     private GameObject Manager;
10.     private GameObject PlayersManager;
11.     //////////////// Player ///////////////////////////
12.     [SerializeField]
13.     private Transform playersContainer;
14.     public GameObject PlayerPrefabs;
15.     public GameObject[] PlayerInput;
16.  
17.     void Start()
18.     {
19.         Manager = GameObject.Find("GameManager").gameObject;
20.         PlayersManager = GameObject.Find("PlayersManager").gameObject;
21.  
22.         for (int i = 0; i < Manager.GetComponent<GameManager>().PlayerNumber; i++){
23.             GameObject tempListing = Instantiate(PlayerPrefabs, playersContainer);
24.         }
25.  
26.         PlayerInput = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("PlayerList");
27.  
28.         int y = 0;
29.         foreach (GameObject Player in PlayerInput)
30.         {
31.             Player.FindChild("NameText").GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = "testname";
32.             Player.FindChild("ResultText").GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = "testreult";
33.         }
34.     }
35. }

and the error message : Assets\Scripts\ShowFinalResult.cs(31,20): error CS1061: 'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'FindChild' and no accessible extension method 'FindChild' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

I do not think your problem is with TextMeshPro.
The error says that there is not method called "FindChild".
You probably wanted to use "Find"
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Find.html

 

Always best to start with the documentation:

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.GetChild.html

Note how that is an instance method on Transform, NOT on GameObject where you are trying to use it in lines 31 and 32 above.

Fortunately every GameObject has a shortcut to Transform instance on it called

.transform

!

This means this line:

Player.FindChild("NameText").GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = "testname";

should instead be:

Player.transform.FindChild("NameText").GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = "testname";

HOWEVER... don't make long hairy lines of code like that because when something goes wrong at runtime, such as a null reference, it's impossible to reason about.

Thank you for your answers.

As you recommended Kurt-Dekker, I did go and see the docs, I tried to replace FindChild by Find and I tried to make FindChild precede .transform.

Unfortunately in these two cases my problem persists.

 

As always, how to understand compiler and other errors and even fix them yourself:
