Script Default References vs. Object Variable References?
Just a quick item that I'm confused on (sorry if this is really basic, but the book I read doesn't address the purpose of this...):
A script shows Default References for variables. If I attach that script to an object, it, too, shows References for those variables in the Inspector, where they can be specified. Furthermore, if I make that object into a prefab, now I've got three places for such References: the script, the prefab, and the instantiated prefab in the Hierarchy.
So, why are there three places to specify References? And, must I specify the values for those References in all three places? Thanks for any clarification.
Default values are the values that the script sets those references values when the script is attached to anything.
An instance normally precedes a prefab, since you make prefabs out of customized instances, so basically you change an instance preferences to the desired scene values, and then you make a prefab for it.
Because of the above, once you create a prefab, your references should be set to their meant and correct values, but fundamentally you need to just set the 'instance' references only.
