How to attach a camera via a script?

Questions & Answers
1

A little context… I am working on a multiplayer game and when the user logs in I want to load a model for their character and then I want to attach the main camera to the user’s model. I was able to create a prefab of the model and just have the camera disabled unless it’s a player being added to the scene. However I was hoping there was a way I can just take a prefab of the player camera and attach it through a script?

Thanks in advance for the help/advice.

You can attach a component to a gameobject using AddComponent.

You can the use the reference for changing values on the component.

Example:

Camera addedCamera = gameObject.AddComponent<Camera>();

According to the comment you gave to @nullgobz 's answer, you wan’t to attach the prefab of a camera to your characters. Then, you simply have to instantiate the prefab. The following code must be included in the character’s script.

// C#

// Drag & drop the prefab from the inspector
public GameObject CameraPrefab ;

private GameObject camera ;

void Start()
{
    camera = (GameObject) GameObject.Instantiate( CameraPrefab ) ;
    camera.transform.SetParent( transform ) ;
    camera.transform.localPosition = Vector3.zero ;
    camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.identity ;
    ...
}
