Get all Scripts Attached to gameObject

Hello,

Is it possible to get all scripts attached to gameObject without knowing what they are? I basically want to be able to put all the scripts attached to the gameObject into an array.

Thanks

its most likely you want only scripts from the game object? if so you can get them as a bunch of mono behaviors, since they all derive from that.

var scripts = gameObject.GetComponents(typeof(MonoBehaviour) as MonoBehaviour[];

just know that this will cast down all the scripts to a mono-behavior, thus will lose all their properties until you re-cast them. you can still access all the properties defined in Monobehaviour.

apparently the order of Get-components is top to bottom.you should pay attention that in order to cast the right scripts(you don’t want to cast a Physics script with an AI script!)

Hope this helps

Yep, this is how it's done. Tip: If you also know that they will not change over time and you only want to ensure you have a reference to them from the start, consider making an editor script that populates the array rather than having to perform it at runtime.
