Any one have any idea why this dont work ?

Never mind it works ....
I just had a typo.. fixed code unless someone wants it..

How to loop thru items under parent and assign their transforms by name.

Code (CSharp):

1.     Transform paintuse;
2.     Transform paintfire;
3.     Transform paintpick;
4.  
5.     // Use this for initialization
6.     void Awake ()
7.     {
8.  
9.         //get refrences to all child targets by their transform name.
10.         foreach (Transform t in transform)
11.         {
12.             switch (t.name)
13.             {
14.             case "PaintTarget_Use":
15.                 paintuse = t.GetComponent<Transform>();
16.                 break;
17.             case "PaintTarget_Pick":
18.                 paintpick = t.GetComponent<Transform>();
19.                 Debug.LogError("found");
20.                 break;
21.             case "PaintTarget_Fire":
22.                 paintfire = t.GetComponent<Transform>();
23.                 break;
24.             }
25.         }
26.     }

 

Maybe this is more correct? ;-)

Code (csharp):

1. foreach (Transform t in GetComponents<Transform>()) {
2.    ...
3. }

 

Oddly enough, Transform implements IEnumerable so that is perfectly legal; albeit weird looking.
