How to synchronize in Unity?

Question

Hi, I have two monobehavior which modifies the value of 1 parameter.

1) How do I know which monobehavior is called first?

2) Also is there away to prioritize a monobehavior over the other (let behavior 1 do something before the other)?

3) Is there away to explicitly block access to the parameter until I explicitly release the lock (the normal way to sync)?

Thanks.

Order of equivalent priority scripts is not guaranteed.
1. You can set the priority of scripts using Edit>Project Settings>Script Execution Order
2. You could use your own boolean - these things are not threads so you can't use synchronisation locks

Sometimes its worth having one item do something in Awake and the other in Start.
