The DisabledInSelfAndChildren field is a member of the FindMode enumeration in the Sandbox namespace. It is used to specify a search mode that targets components which are disabled within the current object and its immediate children. This mode is useful when you need to identify components that are not active in the current context and its direct descendants.
Use FindMode.DisabledInSelfAndChildren when you want to search for components that are disabled in the current object and its children. This can be particularly useful in scenarios where you need to manage or inspect components that are not currently active, perhaps for debugging or conditional activation purposes.
// Example of using FindMode.DisabledInSelfAndChildren
// Assume 'gameObject' is a reference to a GameObject
var disabledComponents = gameObject.FindComponents<SomeComponent>(FindMode.DisabledInSelfAndChildren);
// Iterate over the found components
foreach (var component in disabledComponents)
{
// Perform operations on each disabled component
component.DoSomething();
}
