Modify Halo By Script

Hi,

As far as I know is there no Halo class available.

I can get the component by String, e.g.

Code (CSharp):

1. Component halo = gameObject.GetComponent( "Halo" );

How can I modify the parameters of the Component by String, like the "size" or the "color" of the halo?

Best Regards,
Patrick

 

Halo is more than a component - it is an object type of its own (If you wish to understand this completely, learn inheritance).
So, if you write:

Code (CSharp):

1. Halo haloVariable = GetComponent<Halo>();

You can then access haloVariable as a halo as well, and not just a component, by writing haloVariable.Color = whatever

 

do I need some imports (usings), because Halo as class is not present. (This is the reason why I'm accessing this component by String. All components as far as I know are inherted from Component)
