    Hello,
    I was wondering if there was a way of declaring a game object as a public variable, and when that variable is assigned the code takes all children of that game object and puts them into an array.

    Or, is there a method where you can instantiate a prefab object and put them into the array upon instantiating them?

    If my question is not clear I can clarify.

    Please help!

    If you have a GameObject called 
    foo
    , you can get all Transforms in it and all of its children with this:

    Code (csharp):
    1. var AllTransforms = foo.GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>();
