Title: Need Test GameObject Action
Post by: xunxun on October 18, 2013, 04:57:02 PM

hi,

Please anyone can make an extension for "Find Game Object" to do something.

To be clear, I want an action that can do these actions bellow

1. Find Clone Game objects (name, tag)
2. True/Exited on screen --> Do something
3. False ---> do something.

This can be done by some actions, just lazy to do so a lot of time. I think this is really useful action.

Why not just use Find Game Object and then Game Object Is Null?

Hi,

 Lane is right.

 Be very cautious with finding objects by name, this is a known slow function within Unity, so use it only when you have no other choice, and certainly not in your gameloop, else you will have performance problem. Prefer pro active registrations of objects to a list or firing a global event for anymore interested to get notified that you exist.

 If you have trouble refactoring because indeed you use "find object by name" everywhere, let us know.


bye,
