GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag. Some problems

Hello guys! I am using suc good command in my script - GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag.
The situation is:
Imagine a character, player, and for example, his transform.position.z = 0.
Than an enemy is respawned, his transform.position.z = 20, tagged "Enemy".
Than a second enemy is respawned, his transform.position.z = 40, tagged "Enemy".

After that the script is used: we need to find the nearest enemy position, so I use GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag.
But it finds an enemy, who was respawned at last, it is second enemy. But I need the nearest Enemy to stay selected until he is destroyed.

I know, that it is necessary to use FindGameObjectsWithTag, but don't know how to use it correctly to find the lowest Z.position.
Maybe you could help me with this problem?

 

You probably want the FindGameObjectsWithTag method:

https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag.html

That returns an array containing *all* game objects matching the specified tag. From there, you simply need to loop through the returned objects, calculate the distance between your character and the current object (probably using Vector3.Distance), always remembering the "closest" object. Then when finished with the distance loop, do whatever is appropriate with the closest object.

Well then, if you check the link jgodfrey posted you will notice there is an example
// Print the name of the closest enemy

this actually has function FindClosestEnemy ()

 

Oh my God, guys, it is really amazing! How could I miss such a simple thing )
Thank you very much!
