Communication Between GameObjects?

Unity Engine
1

Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to instantiate a new object by changing its public variables?
For example, I have a player who spawns creatures.
I have player’s name as a variable in PlayerScript:

var PlayerName:String;
... // somewhere in the script:
PlayerName = "Player1";
...
Instantiate_With_Name(CreatureClone,PlayerName)

so that CreatureScript receives this PlayerName and assigns its name to “Player1’s Creature” with something like:

// CreatureScript:
var CreatureName:String;
//....
function constructor(GotPlayerName){ //I know this is probably a wrong syntax, but anyway
CreatureName = GotPlayerName + "'s Creature";
}

I hope I made myself clear.
I just want to pass parameters between Parent Child GameObjects.
How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

Not sure I fully understand what you are trying to accomplish.

If you are trying to instantiate some prefab and then set some public variable from it, you could

public GameObject SomePrefabWithScript;
private CreatureScript theScript;   // The name of the class / script attached to that prefab that contains this public variable

// Somewhere in your player or spawning script

 // Instantiate your new creature
 GameObject go = Instantiate(SomePrefabWithAScript) as GameObject;
        
 // Get a reference to the script of that new Creature
 theScript = go.GetComponent<CreatureScript>();
 theScript.someVariable = "Something";  // Assuming someVariable was a string.
