Title: How to get a component variable from a GameObject variable?[SOLVED]
Post by: Mupp on July 19, 2018, 09:23:28 AM

I want to get the X size of a box collider on the object that is currently stored in a GameObject variable. How do I do that?

Hi,

 you either do this using GetProperty action, or you get the dedicated custom action GetBoxColliderSize from the Ecosystem.

 Bye,

Thanks, the GetBoxColliderSize should work, but for future reference, how do you use GetProperty with a GameObject variable? Can you give me an example how to store a variable from a component on an unknown object?

Hi,

simply drop the Component onto the Action stack.

Um, I don't think you understand. I can't drag the object because it is stored in a variable. It's unknown, otherwise it would been really easy.

Did you save the component as object variable? I'll make a small gif later.

Yeah, that's what I tried to do, but it's at that point it gets tricky for me.  :-\
