boolean cant be set on multiple objects

Again its time for the exams, so i'm here and got again a few little problems with my code.

My goal is, beeing able to switch blocks on buttonpress (works absolutely fine), and now i added a trigger which will set a boolean on false, so i cant move those blocks anymore. This works too...but only on the last set Block i want to move.

i used (as normal?):

movingBlocks = GameObject.Find("SwitchableCube").GetComponent<MovingBlocks>();

to get the access to the script i need to switch. I tried changing the variable via function and by simply changing it. Is there anything within Unity or C# that does not allow setting a single Variable at multiple Objects?

thanks for all your help

(if i missed any thread where the solution was posted, im sooo sorry, but i was really unsure what i had to cover in my search)

EDIT: void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) { if (other.CompareTag("DeadZone")) { movingBlocks.canSwitch = false; Debug.Log("Did enter"); Debug.Log (movingBlocks.canSwitch); } } void OnTriggerExit() { movingBlocks.canSwitch = false; Debug.Log("probably set it on true again...without any reason"); } thats exactly the code that changes variables, right now

Find only returns one object, not multiple. Try using FindObjectsOfType

MovingBlocks[] movingBlocks = FindObjectsOfType<MovingBlocks>();

This also means you need to iterate over all of them to change the canSwitch variable for all of them.

foreach (MovingBlocks m in movingBlocks)
     m.canSwitch = false;
