Question by Shnayzr · Sep 23, 2014 at 03:58 PM · c#gameobjectprefab

How to access a game object from a Prefab?

Hello

i am making a game (using C#) which spawn enemies, there is 2 game objects (Spawner and HP Bar) and 1 Prefab (Enemies)

i made a script which make the enemies (prefab) lose HP (Hp Bar Scale down)

however i cant access the game object (Hp Bar) from the prefab (enemies) unless i make the HpBar a prefab but that doesnt help me.

so is there a way to access a game object from a Prefab?

Thank you very much

Unclear what you are asking. Typically a prefab will find game objects it needs to access when it is created. GameObject.Find() and GameObject.FindWithTag() are the two most common ways a prefab will find game objects.

If the GUIText is on the same game object, you can just use 'guiText'.

 guiText.text = "Some string";

If on another object, then you can do:

 otherObject.guiText.text = "Some text";

Note that under the hood, Unity is doing a GetComponent() call for you.
