attaching script to a prefab in runtime but cannot change variables

Unity Engine
1

Hello
I want to attach a script to an instantitated prefab in my scene and I’m using below code to do that.
I can successfully add script to instantiated prefab but I cannot change the variables in that script.
Even if I try that , when I print the values of the variables in my script, they all seems like their default values
Do you know how can I fix that?

	GameObject prefabGO = prefabObj.gameObject;
	if (prefabGO != null) {
	        Debug.Log("[SceneCreator] Creating MeshTextureDrawer ITEMID:"+itemID+" ModelType:"+modelType+" SupplierID:"+supplierID+" StoreOwner:"+storeOwner);
		MeshTextureDrawer mtd = prefabGO.AddComponent<MeshTextureDrawer>();
		mtd.init();
		if (mtd != null) {
			mtd.itemID = itemID;
			mtd.supplierID = supplierID;
			mtd.modelType = modelType;
			mtd.storeOwnerName = storeOwner;
			mtd.thisObj = prefabObj;
		} else {
			Debug.Log("[SceneCreator] TextureDrawer Script is Null");
		}

	}

Thanks

Yeah I have had this problem before, for me it seemed to work better when I used a setter method instead trying to assign the variables directly…

i.e. something like prefabGo.GetComponent ().setItemID(itemID);

void setItemID (int itemID#) {
itemID = itemID#;
}

Thanks
That solved it
