"this" is the script instance, not the Game Object to which the script instance is attached.

Yep, looks like the API links are broken again.

You have an API on your local machine. Find the Unity Install Directory :

C:/Program Files/Unity/Editor/Data/Documentation/Documentation/ScriptReference/Component-gameObject.html

Here's the details from that page :

Component.gameObject

var gameObject : GameObject

Description : The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object.

C#

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class example : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour { void Example() { print(gameObject.name); } }
