Get Component from Instantiated Prefab

Questions & Answers
1

I need to instantiate a target and player then get the camera mouse control script and set its target to the player. In the code below, the Get Component script returns null. Is there a way to get a component from an instantiated prefab? Any help is appreciated.

SceneObjectData.CurrentSceneObjects.MainCamera = Instantiate(SceneObjectData.SceneObjectPrefab.MainCamera_Prefab) as GameObject;

SceneObjectData.CurrentSceneObjects.adventurer = Instantiate(SceneObjectData.SceneObjectPrefab.Adventurer_Prefab) as GameObject;

//Target the Adventurer with the point camera script
CameraMouseControl CameraMouseControlScript;

CameraMouseControlScript = SceneObjectData.CurrentSceneObjects.MainCamera.GetComponent(“CameraMouseControl”) as CameraMouseControl;
CameraMouseControlScript.target = SceneObjectData.CurrentSceneObjects.adventurer;

I do this when ever I try to get a component, and I’m not sure if it exists, perhaps it’s what you’re looking for:

public MyScript GetScript(GameObject i) {
  var c = i.GetComponent<MyScript>();
  if (c == null) {
    i.AddComponent<MyScript>();
    c = i.GetComponent<MyScript>();
  }
  return c;
}
