assigning scripts to a rig via editor script tool

Question

Hi, Im very new to Editor scripting and getting stuck on selecting components by name.

I want to be able to run a tool thatll apply scripts to different bones, meshes etc of a rig. based on the naming conventions of that component.

I seem to be able to assign scripts to new gameobjects and selected gameobjects, but what I need is a tool that will look thru my character hierarchy and apply a scripts to named components. I assume this is possible(?)

this script is me trying to apply a single script to named components 'thing' (and failing)

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEditor;
 
 
 public class CharFaceRig : ScriptableWizard
 {
     [MenuItem("My Tools/Create FaceRig Wizard...")]
     
     static void CreateWizard()
     {
         ScriptableWizard.DisplayWizard<CharFaceRig>("Create Character", "Create new", "Update selected");
     }
 
     void OnWizardCreate()
     {
         string[] guids1 = AssetDatabase.FindAssets("name:thing");
         foreach (string guid1 in guids1)
         {
             GameObject obj = Selection.activeGameObject;
             Character characterComponent = obj.AddComponent<Character>();
         }
     }
 }

thanks

1 days and a half later I worked it out. Didnt realize you can still use Monodevelop for this

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEditor;
 
 public class CFR : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [MenuItem("Tools/Rig...")]
     static void assignScriptThing()
     {
         GameObject Thing = GameObject.Find("thing");
         if (Thing != null)
         {
             Thing.AddComponent<lookAt>();
         }
     }
 }

What Im now trying to work out is how to apply this only to children of a selected asset. I might have the same rig with the same naming convention and need control over which characters have the scripted applied.

Thanks
