How can I create a "Global Component"?

Questions & Answers
1

I have a class called GameManager which is attached to a gameObject. I want to be able to access that instance from almost any component without having to do something like:

GameObject.Find("World").GetComponent<GameManager>().....

How could I do this? I’ve seen implementations of Singletons and static variables, but how should I go about doing this?

Pretty sure that’s what you want.
