Game Objects

1. Open a prefab.

   Prefably use a created prefab (these are pre-created models), the Octocopter.x is one of them.

2. Create a game object, these are such as camera, render textures, 2D textures etc. By right clicking on the left side of the Unity interface.
3. Attach a written script to the game object by Add Component at the bottom of the inspector (Right Side).

   Scripting essentials are the namespace and the public and private components/variables. public are editable in the inspector and private are not.

4. Attach Public components, with objects and your own variables.

tip

Some examples of scripting public/private variables :

    using System.Collections;    using System.Collections.Generic;    using UnityEngine;    using UnityEngine.Rendering;        public class NameofClass : MonoBehaviour {        public Texture2D Texture;        public GameObject GameObject;        public RenderTexture RenderTexture;        public Shader Shader;        public Material Material;    }
