Finding all GameObjects with the same tag when some of them are inactive?

Question

Hi

Is there a way to find all GameObjects by using their tag even if some of them are inactive at the time?

I have multiple gameObjects with the same tag and if I click on one of them that object will become inactive. I then want to basically reset them all back to their original active state using a button of some sort.

To my knowledge the GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("") function doesn't work on inactive objects. Is there a way to do this in any other way? :)

Thanks in advance

This question has already been answered.

There is no way to find inactive objects with GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("") as you mentioned but you can store inactive objects in an array and and get objects from array is much more performant than using GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("") each time .
