Disabling hotspot of inactive player characters at runtime after teleporting them to a scene

Hi, Chris!

I'm working on the ending scene of a game with multiple player characters. At the start of the ending scene, everyone who survives (via in-game logic) teleports to the final scene and can be clicked on to say a final quip, but after a certain point, I want to disable their hotspots entirely. I'm not seeing a way to reference the player character hotspots easily-- since whether they survive at all is pretty variable. The active player at this point is an invisible omniscient narrator.

I should be able to create a custom action to do this, but want to see if an established best practice first.

Let me know-- thanks!

    Not in the way that character-specific Actions have a Player dropdown field, no.

    Through scripting, however, the GetAllPlayerInstances function will return an array of all Players currently in the scene:

    var players = KickStarter.settingsManager.GetAllPlayerInstances ();
foreach (var player in players)
{
    player.GetComponentInChildren<Hotspot> ().TurnOff ();
}

    Thanks, Chris! Figured I'd need something like this but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious.
