Question by metaphysician · Jul 17, 2017 at 09:36 AM · unity 5 finding

find a game object in a specific scene

i did check a similar titled topic but i am curious if there is any way for a script in a scene to find a specific game object in another scene and get a reference to it. assume for the moment we are talking about both scenes being non-active but all are loaded. i've seen things that involve Dictionaries and delegates and i know GameObject.Find is slow, but assume this doesn't have to be performant. is this at all possible in Unity 2017?
