Question

Ok, so I have a prefab, lets say it's called platform. Now I've made 2 objects on the screen using that prefab, and called them, platform1 and platform2.

My hierarchy looks like this

Field (Empty Object with script explosion as Component)
- platform1 (gameObject)
  - explosion (script Detonator as Component)
- platform2 (gameObject)
  - explosion (script Detonator as Component)

Now I want to trigger both explosions at the same time and I've tried the following JS script:

var explosion : Detonator;
var ready : boolean = true;

function Update () {
    if(ready) {
        Explode(2);
    }
}

function Explode(t : int) {
    ready = false;
    explosion1 = gameObject.Find("platform1").Find("explosion").GetComponent(Detonator);
    explosion = gameObject.Find("platform2").Find("explosion").GetComponent(Detonator);
    explosion1.Explode();
    explosion.Explode();
    yield WaitForSeconds(t);

    ready = true;
}

but for some reason, only the second platform gets triggered. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in Advance, Dave

If I remember correctly, gameObject.Find() is not relative... It searches the entire scene, and you're probably getting the 2nd explosions both times. transform.Find() however, is.

try

var tField: Transform = GameObject.Find("Field").transform;

explosion1 = tField.Find("platform1/explosion").GetComponent(Detonator);
explosion2 = tField.Find("platform2/explosion").GetComponent(Detonator);

or...

explosion1 = GameObject.Find("Field/platform1/explosion").GetComponent(Detonator);
explosion2 = GameObject.Find("Field/platform2/explosion").GetComponent(Detonator);

Alternatively you could:

var tField: Transform = GameObject.Find("Field").transform;

foreach (var currDetonator: Detonator in tField.GetComponentsInChildren(typeof(Detonator)))
{
    currDetonator.Explode();
}

You haven't declared explosion1 as a variable at the top of your script. You need this:

var explosion : Detonator;
var explosion1 : Detonator;
var ready : boolean = true;
