Use the "FindGameObjectsWithTag" function. Here's a c# example:

// to count the number of objects: int enemyCount = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy").Length;

// to get an array of references to all those objects: GameObject[] enemies = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");

and in Javascript:

// to count the number of objects: var enemyCount : int = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy").Length;

// to get an array of references to all those objects: var enemies : GameObject[] = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Enemy");

Hi

I was wondering if there was away of counting the number of objects by tag but not having an error if that tag is not found?

eg UnityException: Tag: Destroy is not defined!

This is happening becuase i haven't declared this tag YET, but i will...

thanks Sam

in c # try this code to find out the references of all objects specific name

obsticals = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("hurdles");

     if (obsticals != null)
     {

         foreach (GameObject roadHurdles in obsticals)
         {

          hurdleScripts hurdle = roadHurdles.GetComponent<hurdleScripts>();

hurdle.variable in the next scripts....= somthing;
