    Sorry, im new in C# programming. For example:

    GameObject.Find ("SnakePart")

    I want to make a variable of this line called "snake" so, everytime i have to call it, i write "snake" instead of writting the entire line. I tried with something like:

    GameObject snake = GameObject.Find ("SnakePart");

    However, it doesnt work

    Make sure the GameObject you are looking for is Active in the scene hierarchy.

    You are doing this inside of a function. If you want to access it elsewhere, make it global by placing outside of a function and call GameObject.Find within the Start function.

    Sorry, found the problem. I should have tried "transform" because i tried to select a child.

    Thanks everyone
