Hello all,
This may be the simplest thing in the world but, I currently have a list containing a series of scripts that the user has plugged in at the front end of my program, just like you can do with game objects only applied to MonoScripts now I am looking to take these scripts and apply them to the GameObject the script is attached to, somthing along the line of

gameObject.AddComponent<DetectionUnits[0].name>;

were
“DetectUnits”
is:

public List<DetectMod> DetectionUnits;

Received from a script higher up the chain
any tips ?

I think we might need some more information or for you to show code for our better understanding.
But if I understood you correctly, what you’re trying to do sounds a lot like polymorphism.
All the scripts that the user has available inherit from a base class, and you call a method (maybe an abstract method that everyone implements) that the selected child(s) run dynamically. Sounds good ? Let me know.
