Title: Object VS GameObject
Post by: Yagolov on July 15, 2020, 06:36:27 AM

Hello!

I am trying to figure it out the actual difference between a variable GameObject and a variable Object, probably this have a easy answer but even I did some research I still do not really have clear the differences.

I am pretty new and I never used variables of type Object before, but now I am using a Plugin where I need to store some Markers as a Objects and everything is OK things works but I still dont really know the difference between those 2.

I would really appreciate if you could tell me the main difference and any practical example of where/why I should use one instead of the other one.

Thank you a lot in advance!

Best regards,
Yago

Hi.
Game Object are the ones you see in the hierarchy.
Prefabs are also handled as GameObjects.

Objects can be many things.

images, like Textures / sprites
or components on a object
Or special variables for some scripts.

Some Objects like Textures / Audio Clips are in the Variable List directly in playmaker as those are the most common used.
