Unity3d - Monitoring which script is bound to which gameobject

If you want to see all the objects that are using a specific script, there are a few ways you can do that.

• Iterate through all the game objects and return a list at will. You can find all the objects of a certain type with:

(Where myComponent is the type of component you're interested in:

myComponent[] myComponents = FindObjectsOfType(typeof(myComponent)) as myComponent[];
Debug.Log("myComponent is attached to the following game objects: ");
foreach (myComponent comp in myComponents) {
    Debug.Log(comp.gameObject.Name);
}

• Create a script registry. Create a static class that contains a dictionary of scripts and their objects. For example:

Code to attach to some kind of scene object:

public static Dictionary<string, List<GameObject>> gameObjectsByScript 
    = new Dictionary<string, List<GameObject>>();


public void AddScript(string scriptName, GameObject gameObject) {

    if(!gameObjectsByScript.ContainsKey(scriptName))
        gameObjectsByScript.Add(scriptName, new List<GameObject>());

    gameObjectsByScript[scriptName].Add(gameObject);
}

public List<GameObject> GetGameObjectsForScript(string scriptName) {
    if(gameObjectsByScript.ContainsKey(scriptName))
        return gameObjectsByScript[scriptName];
    else
        return null;
}

Then, in all the script Start functions you can add:

ScriptList.AddScript(this.GetType().Name, this.gameObject);

How you display the results is up to your personal preference. Maybe you want to just list them in the debug window, or you want to draw boxes around them, or whatever.
