Can I choose what to pass into .getcomponent<{VARIABLE}>();
I have this code:
//do toggle code
GameObject enabledOption = Instantiate(boolInputPrefab, componentOptionsParent.transform);
enabledOption.transform.SetParent(componentOptionsParent.transform);
enabledOption.transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(0).GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = "Toggle Thruster";
Toggle toggle = enabledOption.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Toggle>();
toggle.isOn = blockRefrence.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Thruster>().thrusterOn;
toggle.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { onToggleComponentValueChange(toggle, blockRefrence, blockType.blockType); });
//do keybind code
GameObject keybindOption = Instantiate(textInputPrefab, componentOptionsParent.transform);
keybindOption.transform.SetParent(componentOptionsParent.transform);
keybindOption.transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(0).GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = "keybind (1 lowercase letter)";
TMP_InputField textbox = keybindOption.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<TMP_InputField>();
textbox.text = blockRefrence.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Thruster>().keybind;
textbox.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { onTextComponentValueChange(textbox, blockRefrence, blockType.blockType); });
See how the toggle code and keybind code look sorta the same? they both look the same except for some things like Toggle toggle = ... and TMP_InputField textbox = ... is there a way I could make a function for that can make variables? like:
enum VariableType
{
//they match the class names
Toggle,
TMP_InputFeild
}
public classTypeOrSmthn CreateVariable(VariableType kindOfVariableToMake)
{
return new kindOfVariableToMake;
}
CreateVariable(VariableType.Toggle) newToggleVariable = ...
is this even possible in some way or another?

You could do something like this.
/!\ CODE NOT TESTED
private void CreateVariable<T>(GameObject original, Transform parent, string text, Transform blockReference) where T : Component
{
//do toggle code
GameObject clone = Instantiate(original, parent);
clone.transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(0).GetComponent<TMP_Text>().text = text;
T component = clone.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<T>();
if (component is Toggle toggle)
{
toggle.isOn = blockReference.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Thruster>().thrusterOn;
toggle.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { onToggleComponentValueChange(toggle, blockReference, blockType.blockType); });
}
else if (component is TMP_InputField input)
{
input.text = blockReference.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Thruster>().keybind;
input.onValueChanged.AddListener(delegate { onTextComponentValueChange(input, blockReference, blockType.blockType); });
}
}
And call it like this:
CreateVariable<Toggle>(boolInputPrefab, componentOptionsParent.transform, "Toggle Thruster", blockRefrence);
CreateVariable<TMP_InputField >(textInputPrefab, componentOptionsParent.transform, "keybind (1 lowercase letter)", blockRefrence);
