Hi,

I understand that scripts are attached to objects but how do I include script at startup. For example if I want to include an inventory system script where do I place it?

Thanks,  
XC

Make use of specials functions called on each component at start, as Start () and Awake ().

You can always just create an Empty GameObject in your first game scene and attatch your Inventory or whatever you want to it.
