GetComponent Properties


GetComponent Properties


A particular component has several properties.
For E.g., Component Rigidbody has properties as mass, drag, angular drag, use gravity and so on.
To check the properties of a component you are working on visit Unity official site for scripting API.
In over examples today I am going to work on RigidBody Component.

Overall Scene View.



Example 1 Rigidbody:

1. Changing mass of a body.

Step1- Create a new scene add a Button in your scene, a sphere and add component rigidbody to the sphere.

Step2- Create a script Name it anything meaningful and Write the following code.


Add your Script to Sphere by simply dragging it to the object in hierarchy or in inspector.

Step3- Select your button from the hierarchy and in inspector click on the plus button under Onclick() of the button.


Drag the object on which script is attach to and drop it in the small area as shown below.
Than on the right side select your script name and then select the function name which is “Eating”.



Save The Scene And Run it.

Click on the button and you will notice add +1 value in sphere Rigidbody mass.

2. Adding Force to Sphere.

Step1- Write the following Code save the scene and script and run the scene. You will notice the sphere will start rolling forward.


3. Floating Sphere in No Gravity Zone.

Step1- Write the following code.


Step2- Add a cube in your scene and place it as shown in starting.

Save and run the scene you will notice that when the sphere collided with the cube it stops dropping in air.


That's it for Today, Post is open to edits and suggestion.

Variable scope in Unity

In today’s blog we are going to learn about the scope of variables, and the different ways a function can be created. So let’s get started. Scope of Variables A variable as we all know is a container which can hold a value or multiple values related to its type. Means a Gameobject type variable can hold any gameobject, a Transform  type variable can hold a transform component of any gameobject, etc. But some time a variable declared is inaccessible, that’s due to its " scope of life ". A variable declared in a class is said to be a global variable  to the function and local to the class  where as a variable declared in a function is said to be a local variable of that function. To understand it more clearly any variable defined within “{}” has its scope of life after the “{” starting curly braches till the “}” ending curly braces. Let try to understand with a small example. Step1. Write the following script attach it to any gameobject and hit ru...
