Question

i have a class called gameObject and one of it’s properties in called component and is of type object:

public object component;

and i’m trying to use this object to act as an object that can hold object of any class you give it. for example

unit c = new unit(...)
gameObject test = new gameObject(...)
test.component = c;

and i want to use the c object through the component object. for example

if(test.component==typeof(unit))
    test.component.Draw();//draw is a function of the unit object

is this possible to do? and how do i do it?

Answer 1

Yes, it’s called casting. Like this:

if(test.component is unit)
  ((unit)test.component).Draw();
