CloseBase class for everything attached to GameObjects.
Note that your code will never directly create a Component. Instead, you write script code, and attach the script to a GameObject. See Also: ScriptableObject as a way to create scripts that do not attach to any GameObject.
gameObject | The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object. |
tag | The tag of this game object. |
transform | The Transform attached to this GameObject (null if there is none attached). |
BroadcastMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children. |
CompareTag | Is this game object tagged with tag ? |
GetComponent | Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't. |
GetComponentInChildren | Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children using depth first search. |
GetComponentInParent | Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents. |
GetComponents | Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject. |
GetComponentsInChildren | Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its children. |
GetComponentsInParent | Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents. |

SendMessageUpwards | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object and on every ancestor of the behaviour. |

name | The name of the object. |
GetInstanceID | Returns the instance id of the object. |
ToString | Returns the name of the game object. |

FindObjectOfType | Returns the first active loaded object of Type type. |
FindObjectsOfType | Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type. |
