Copy a component to an other object

[Sly]

Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to copy a component from a gameobject to an other via playmaker.

For example: on my first object I want to copy the component rigidbody (or any other component) to my second object. But I want it to keep the same value from my first object.
Is it possible? Or is there a trick to do it?

Thanks in advance.
Have a good one

Any idea if it's possible?

Hi, I dont know about copying, but I do something like this:

I get all properties from first one, then for second gameObject Add component and set properties from the first one.
Usually I check which properties are changed, those are copied, others which I don't touch I leave as default.

Hello 600,

Thanks for your idea 600!
Sadly, I want to do this without having to copy/past properties. To explain, I'm using a component to have my character characteristics, so it could be long to copy/paste those and if I add new character properties, I will need to update my FSM. And it could be long to do that all the time.

--> For now I find a way by creating a child on my character (with my script on it) from a prefab. I follow this thread to understand how to do it:

But I really want to know if there is more simple way to do it. Is it possible to copy a component with his values to an other game object with playmaker? Does a custom action exist to do it?

Hi,
 
 I am not aware of anything like this at runtime unfortunatly.

 Bye,

Yes I found some stuff about it for the unity engine but nothing very official or easy to install.

So like I already said previously, the easy way is to create a child on a target from a prefab.
