change rigidbodies in all objects to kinematic

Question

how do I get all rigidbodies from all objects in the scene and change them to kinematic through c#? tried this, not sure whether its the correct way, but it only changes the one in object that's added last in the scene:

 Rigidbody[] rb = Rigidbody.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(Rigidbody)) as Rigidbody[];
 foreach(Rigidbody body in rb)
 {
    body.isKinematic = true;
 }

Hi @felsiska,

Your code seems to work just fine! https://gyazo.com/9c98f42c68342c939d6dbf0aa157ff63

The only thing I can imagine is that you call it too soon, or you have other code that prevents or influences the isKinematic variable in a different way.

Try using it in an empty scene and you'll see it works.

Try to:

Find other code that edits the isKinematic variable.
Try to set a different set of rigidbodies that aren't used anywhere else.
Debug the state of isKinematic, does it get set to true, and what is the name of that rigidbody's object.

See if you can find out more, but you're on the right track!

I hope that helps, if it does, please accept this answer, it'd be much appreciated!

If you need any more details or if you find out more with which I can help, let me know! :)

.

Best of luck!

Cheers,

thx a lot! I tried on empty scene and works. will double check on other overlapping commands. does Object.FindObjectOfType only works on one object in the scene?

Yes it does! Make sure to use:

FindObject*s*OfType instead of FindObjectOfType.

If you want multiple objects, your original post indicated that you were though!

For Single Object: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.FindObjectOfType.html

For Multiple Objects: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.FindObjectsOfType.html

Note that Fidn object of type doesn't work on inactive objects, so if you have any inactive rigidbodies to update you might want to apply a different method of referencing them! :)

If you need anything else let me know!
