Question by hubbyo9 · Sep 14, 2013 at 06:22 PM · transformobjectvariables

Accessing variables of objects in scene and not in assets

If I wanted to grab a variable from an item in the scene would I use

 var variable;
 var gameObject : Transform;
 variable = gameObject.GetComponent(scriptName).variableName; 

or would I use something else?

I wouldn't use gameObject as a variable name, since it's already a component of the object your script is attached to. I'm guessing you just did that for example's sake, though. So yes, you're on the right track, GetComponent is definitely the way to go. Check out the Unity Script Reference for more information.

Im storing the object that needs to access the variable in the scene into my assets so it is spawned later on. The transform I set for it clears itself... So it doesnt get the variable.

So would I use something other than transform?

yourGameObject : GameObject;

yourTransform : Transform;

But

GameObject != Transform

But what would I use to grab the variables over a network? But that object is in the scene therefore not a transform. am I right?
