Why doesn't my script print all the objects in the scene?

It's a really simple script and it should work

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class ObjectsGenerator : MonoBehaviour {
5.     public GameObject[] gos;
6.     // Use this for initialization
7.     void Start () {
8.         gos = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Untagged");
9.         for (int i = 0; i < gos.Length; i++) {
10.             Debug.Log (gos);
11.         }
12.     }
13. }
14.  

 

Strangely enough, while gameObject.tag == "Untagged" works, GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Untagged") doesn't.

You can get around by this by getting all the GameObjects in the scenes, and verify their tag.

Code (CSharp):

1. var gameObjects = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<GameObject>();
2.  
3. foreach(GameObject go in gameObjects)
4. {
5.     if (go.tag == "Untagged")
6.     {
7.         Debug.Log (go.name);
8.     }
9. }

 

Thank you, that is indeed strange!

 

I'll go out on a limb and say untangled is handled internally as a null instead of as a string.

I could be completely wrong, just making a guess.

 

I share the same guess as you

 

Thanks, @FaithRaven

but we should use Object.FindObjectsOfType<GameObject>(); because the method is in UnityEngine.Object not GameObject.
