That certainly depends on your game. For example, if you search an enemy that may despawn and spawn at runtime, you should search by code. But I think you mean static, always present objects. There are not many advantages and/or disadvantges, other than you possibly loose the reference between them. I would still search by code, this is more secure and not much effort. Can't help you with exact pros and cons though...

Yeah i agree. Offcourse that depend on the scenario.. so the answer would be if you need direct access to specific unique instance then passing them directly to the inspector might be a good idea. But if you need to find respawn instances.. its better by program$$anonymous$$g to retrieve them and track them.
