Why can I not do a foreach in my List of gameobjects?

I have a list of gameobjects and I want to cycle through the list and disable each object.

public List<GameObject> panel;

foreach (GameObject i in panel) { i.SetActive(false); }

I am getting the error that I cannot convert char to gameobject. How do I refer to the gameobject?
thank you

 

Your script works for me:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Test : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public List<GameObject> panel;
8.  
9.     private void Start()
10.     {
11.         foreach(GameObject i in panel) { i.SetActive(false); }
12.     }
13. }

 

What does the rest of your script look like? Are you sure the error is on that line?

 

I see my mistake now, I used "panel" 2 times which caused the error

public List<GameObject> panel;

    public void ChangePanel(string panel)

    {

        foreach (GameObject i in panel) {

            i.SetActive(false);

        }

    }

Thanks for testing the code all
