Summary

An object in the scene. Functionality is added using Components. A GameObject has a transform, which explains its position, rotation and scale, relative to its parent. It also has a name, and can be enabled or disabled. When disabled, the GameObject is still in the scene, but the components don't tick and are all disabled.

Constructors

GameObject

Properties

Active	Is this gameobject active. For it to be active, it needs to be enabled, all of its ancestors need to be enabled, and it needs to be in a scene.
Children
Components	Access components on this GameObject
DebugOverlay	Allows drawing of temporary debug shapes and text in the scene
Enabled	Is this gameobject enabled?
EnabledToken	This token is cancelled when the GameObject ceases to exist, or is disabled
Flags
HasGimzoHandleobsolete
HasGizmoHandle
Id
IsDestroyed	Return true if this object is destroyed. This will also return true if the object is marked to be destroyed soon.
IsNetworkRoot	If true then this object is the root of a networked object.
IsPrefabInstance	This GameObject is part of a prefab instance.
IsPrefabInstanceRoot	This GameObject is the root of a prefab instance. Returns true for regular instance roots and nested prefab instance roots.
IsProxy	True if this is a networked object and is owned by another client. This means that we're not controlling this object, so shouldn't try to move it or anything.
IsRoot	Returns true of this is a root object. Root objects are parented to the scene.
IsValid	True if the GameObject is not destroyed
LocalPosition	The local position of the game object.
LocalRotation	The local rotation of the game object.
LocalScale	The local scale of the game object.
LocalTransform	The local transform of the game object.
Name	The GameObject's name is usually used for debugging, and for finding it in the scene.
Network	Access network information for this GameObject.
Networkedobsolete	OBSOLETE: Use NetworkMode instead.
NetworkInterpolation	Whether or not our networked transform will be interpolated. This property will only be synchronized for a root network object.
NetworkMode	How should this object be networked to other clients? By default, a Sandbox.GameObject will be networked as part of the Sandbox.GameObject.Scene snapshot.
Parent
PrefabInstanceSource
Root	Return the root GameObject. The root is the object that is parented to the scene - which could very much be this object.
Scene	The scene that this GameObject is in.
Tags
Transform	Our position relative to our parent, or the scene if we don't have any parent.
WorldPosition	The world position of the game object.
WorldRotation	The world rotation of the game object.
WorldScale	The world scale of the game object.
WorldTransform	The world transform of the game object.

Methods

AddComponent	Add a component to this GameObject
AddSibling
BreakFromPrefab	We are cloned from a prefab. Stop that.
Clear	Destroy all components and child objects
Clone	Create a unique copy of the passed in GameObject
Deserialize
Destroy	Destroy this object. Will actually be destroyed at the start of the next frame.
DestroyImmediate	Destroy this object immediately. Calling this might cause some problems if functions are expecting the object to still exist, so it's not always a good idea.
EditLogobsolete
GetAllObjects
GetBounds	This is slow, and somewhat innacurate. Don't call it every frame!
GetComponent	Get a component on this GameObject
GetComponentInChildren	Get component on this GameObject or on descendant GameObjects
GetComponentInParent	Get component on this GameObject and on ancestor GameObjects
GetComponents	Get components on this GameObject
GetComponentsInChildren	Get components on this GameObject and on descendant GameObjects
GetComponentsInParent	Get components on this GameObject and on ancestor GameObjects
GetLocalBounds	This is slow, and somewhat innacurate. Don't call it every frame!
GetNextSibling	Get the GameObject after us,
GetOrAddComponent	Add a component to this GameObject
IsAncestor	Returns true if the passed in object is an ancestor
IsDescendant	Returns true if the passed in object is a decendant of ours
MakeNameUnique
NetworkSpawn	Spawn on the network. If you have permission to spawn entities, this will spawn on everyone else's clients and you will be the owner.
PlaySound	Play this sound on this GameObject. The sound will follow the position of the GameObject. You'll be able to use GameObject.StopAllSounds to stop all sounds that are following this GameObject.
Serialize	Returns either a full JsonObject with all the GameObjects data, or if this GameObject is a prefab instance, it wil return an object containing the patch/diff between instance and prefab.
SetParent
SetPrefabSourceobsolete
StopAllSounds	Stop any sounds playing on this GameObject
UpdateFromPrefab

Static Methods

BreakProceduralBone	Stop this bone being procedural
DispatchEdited	Run the Editor.EditorEvent.ISceneEdited.GameObjectEdited(Sandbox.GameObject,System.String) event for the given property.
DispatchPreEdited	Run the Editor.EditorEvent.ISceneEdited.GameObjectPreEdited(Sandbox.GameObject,System.String) event for the given property.
GetPrefab	Get the GameObject of a prefab from file path
IsDeletable
JsonRead
JsonWrite
PasteComponent	Paste a Sandbox.Component as a new component on the target Sandbox.GameObject.
ShouldShowInHierarchy	Return true if this object should be shown in the GameObject list
