globals.cs

Two small extension classes for Sandbox game objects. Directory_Extensions adds FindbyName to search a GameObjectDirectory for an exact-name GameObject. GameObject_Extensions adds GetChild to return a direct child GameObject by name.

using Sandbox;

public static class Directory_Extensions
{
    public static GameObject FindbyName(this GameObjectDirectory d, string n)
    {
        foreach (var go in d.FindByName(n))
        {
            if (go.Name == n)
                return go;
        }
        
        return null;
    }
}

public static class GameObject_Extensions
{
    public static GameObject GetChild (this GameObject go, string n)
    {
        foreach (var c in go.Children)
        {
            if (c.Name == n)
                return c;
        }
        
        return null;
    }
