Unity - Adding Basic components to the GameObject

Adding RigidBody 2D

RigidBody 2D adds 2D physics(falling for example) to the gameObject.

• Select AddComponent and type RigidBody 2D
• Adding RigidBody 2D will enable the gameObject to interact with eachother.

Adding Collider 2D

Collider 2D defines the physical shape of a 2D GameObject for the purposes of physics interactions.

• Allows the gameObject to collide with other gameObjects and trigger events.

Adding Scripts 1

By adding a script to the game object, you can define how the gameObject behaves.

• Click on Add Component and type script. Then, name the script and save it.

• Once you save the script, wait for few seconds and the script should be in your Assets folder.

Adding Scripts 2

I prefer to make a script folder first, and then make a script.

• Create a new folder under Assests folder.

• Name the folder and create C# script in it.

• Make sure to drag and drop the script onto the add component section of the gameObject to apply the script after.
