Accessing other objects and modifying their components

This tutorial explains how you can write a script in C# that can access other objects and then modify their components. In this example, we will attach a script to the Main Camera and then use that script to access a Cube object and modify it’s position, rotation and scale.

Here is the sample code that is attached to the Main Camera and accessing the Cube object.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 
public class moveOtherObject : MonoBehaviour {
 
 // this script accesses another object and modifies its components
 // it can be attached to any other object e.g script and is accessing a Cube
 
 // this is the other game object you want to access
 public GameObject target;
 
 // Use this for initialization
 void Start () {
 target = GameObject.Find ("Cube");
 
 }
 
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update () {
 target.transform.Translate (0f, 0f, 0.1f);
 target.transform.Rotate (0f, 0f, 1f);
 target.transform.localScale = new Vector3 (1.5f, 1.5f, 1.5f);
 
 }
}
