,How to get the script of an element? or the GameObject of an Component?

Question

Hi :) (see Picture) I have an GameObject 'PathA', which has a Component 'Script Instantiator'. This Scrit has Elements (Vehicles). Each Element has Component 'Script AICar'. How can I get the name of the GameObject 'PathA' from the Element?

I am coding in the Script o alt text f the Element. I want to say somthething like: this.transform.gameobject -> The parent Script -> It's parent GameObject, wich it is attached to.

Its actually the GetComponet Function the other way round, how can i code it?

This is not possible the way you think. A gameObject / component does not know when it is referenced by another component.

Your only solution is to "inject" the reference of the gameObject / instantiator inside the vehicles

 // Vehicle.cs
 
 public Instantiator Instantiator
 {
    get ; set ;
 }

 // Instantiator.cs

 private void Start()
 {
     for( int i = 0 ; i < vehicles.Count ; ++i )
          vehicles[i].Instantiator = this ;
 }

(Next time, think about doing a screenshot instead of taking a picture with your phone / camera)
