GameObject Find(string
name);
Parameters Parameter Description name The name of the GameObject to find. DescriptionFinds and returns a GameObject with the specified name.
Only returns active GameObjects. Returns null if no GameObject with name exists. If name contains a / character, it traverses the hierarchy like a path name.
For performance reasons, it is recommended to not use this function every frame. Instead, cache the result in a member variable at startup, or use GameObject.FindWithTag.
If the game is running with multiple scenes then Find will search in all of them.
To find a child GameObject, it is often easier to use Transform.Find.
GameObject.Find is useful for automatically connecting references to other objects at load time; for example, inside MonoBehaviour.Awake or MonoBehaviour.Start.
A common pattern is to assign a GameObject to a variable inside MonoBehaviour.Start, and use the variable in MonoBehaviour.Update.
