Checking if a game object exists?

Is there a way I can use an if statement to see if a prefab is in the scene, and execute various code depending on whether it is?

 

Pretty sure you could do that with tags.

 

yup - or even the name of the object will return true if its out there.

 

....


How I would I check for that?

 

Help please... I need this to finish my project.

 

What are you using js or C#?

 

well it really depends what method as well.

If you want to find the object by its name, than use this kind of method...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.   if(GameObject.Find("GameObjectsName")) { //whatever }
3.  

Or lf, if you want to add a tag to the gameObject through the inspector, you can call it like this from its tag.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.   if(GameObject.FindWithTag("GameObjectsTag")) { //whatever }
3.  

Either or should work, its relatively simple.

 

Oh right. Wow that's simple. Thanks guys.

 

Willc, what goes in the {//whatever}

 

{//whatever} is where your code goes

 

*slaps forehead*

 

Try this, tested and work ok for me

Code (CSharp):

1. var sceneName = testObject.scene.name;
2. if (sceneName != null)
3. {
4.     // this object is on scene
5. }
6. else
7. {
8.     // this object is a prefab, not instantiate on any scene
9. }
