How do I make it so every object the player creates (in a building game) gets a script attach to it by default?

Question

For context, I'm trying to make a building game. I already have a script attached to an empty that allows the player to press P to spawn an object then left click to place. Now I'm following a tutorial to make it so the player can click on a game object and move it around. However, I believe the script requires an object to be attach to that will be moved around. This is why I'm looking for a way to automatically apply that script to every object that the player creates. Not only that, but it would also be useful for other things like allowing the player to rotate their object when they select it.

So how would I do that? Or is there another method that can achieve the same results? Thank you in advance.

First, make every object that the player spawns have the same tag (For example "BuildObject")
Then, add this to beginning of the script

 private GameObject[] BuildObjs; //This is where you store the Gameobjects that the player created        

 [SerializeField] private someScript SS; //This is the script you want to be added to BuildObjs

After that add this in the script

 void Update()
 {
      BuildObjs = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("BuildObject");
 
      foreach (GameObject Object in BuildObjs)
      {    
            if (Object.GetComponent<someScript>() == null)
            {
                  Obj.AddComponent<SS>();
            }
      }
 }

This should work... i think
IMPORTANT NOTE : Instead of "someScript" you have to put the name of the script you want to add.

Consider someGameObject.AddComponent<SomeCustomComponent>(); https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.AddComponent.html
