swapping multiple components

Unity Engine
1

I have a player who moves due to several components; a rigidbody, some joints, and some scripts which read input and add forces. There are some tweaked PID controllers, etc.

Now I would like, while the game is running, to swap out these components with ones that implement a different type of movement, lets say flying, or parachuting.

I know how to add and remove components from c#, but I am not sure how to best go about handling the inspector values which have been carefully tweaked. I could probably put all the movement modes into one big component with tons of variables, but are there other, better ways?

You’d be better off putting these different combinations on different GameObjects that are a child of the main one, and activating/deactivating those. It’s easier to sync a few properties like position than to recreate entire precisely tuned components.

That could easily work for me, yep! Thanks!
