Can the Unity Editor 'Find References' for a particular Game Object; like MonoDevelop can for highlighed variables?

You can select a GameObject in a scene and right-click any of it's components in the Inspector and select "Find References In Scene". It will look for all references to that component and in turn (since the GameObject references it) also to all references of the GameObject. Works similar to the Find Reference command for assets, in that it will show chain-references (A is referenced by B, B is referenced by C...) Dunno if this functionality is new or if has been here all along.

Hi @donimation! If I got it right, you look for a usage/reference finder asset.

You mentioned our tool, Asset Usage Finder, but probably aren't sure if it will be worth the money. Based on experience of users that bought it, the tool saves you much more than it costs (take a look at reviews on Asset Store). Btw, it's being used not only for finding references, but for cleaning the project, too.

If Asset Usage Finder looks good to you, buy it. In case it won't be useful for you, we'll refund you the full price!

use get component to your proyect

example:

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Script1 : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public int Test = 1;
     public GameObject;
 }

other script

 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Script2 : MonoBehaviour

    //This script is used to change a value or get an object from another script
     void Start()
     {
         Script1 S = GetComponent<Script1>();
         S.Test = 2;
         Cube = S.GameObject;
     }

If this does not help, be more specific than what you want to do

If I've read the question right, you would like to know whether there is a way to see all the objects that use an object.

You're after EditorUtility.CollectDependencies, this should find the dependencies of the objects that you provide it.

Here's a link to the documentation on it: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EditorUtility.CollectDependencies.html

Bare in mind, this is only available in the editor, and you have to write your own custom script to use the method.

Hopefully this is what you're after.

Hi,

Check out this open source tool ! It is perfect for finding dependencies of an asset and what references it.
