copy settings from other gameobject
hi,
i got an game object with components & scripts attached to it. if the player clicks on a gui button the engine needs to destroy the current object and load a new object with the same component scripts settings position etc. (like a swap of objects)
this is what i got
var pos : Rect; var pos2 : Rect;
function OnGUI() { if (GUI.Button(pos, " Swap ")) { Destroy (gameObject);
player = new GameObject ("the new gameobject"); player.AddComponent ("Rigidbody"); player.AddComponent ("SphereCollider"); player.AddComponent ("Mesh Renderer"); player.AddComponent ("Drag NRotate 2"); }

Perhaps you could just use Instantiate to create the new object, then destroy the old object. Eg:
var newObject = Instantiate(oldObject);
Destroy(oldObject);
IIRC Instantiate doesnt copy the renderer values so you might have to rehash those as well, all the times I have used it then tried to change the r,g,b,a values I got 'renderer is not attached to this object' where it was in the original.
If the settings are always the same, just instantiate a prefab. If not, then write a method which will copy all the values (like position, mass etc.) from one object to another.
