Object.bool

Description

Does the object exist?

The two examples below give the same result.

// check if there is a rigidbody attached to this transform

if (rigidbody)
   Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    // check if there is a rigidbody attached to this transform
    void Start()
    {
        if (GetComponent<Rigidbody>())
        {
            Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");
        }
    }
}

...is the same as this...

// another way to check if a rigidbody is attached to this transform

if (rigidbody != null)
   Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Example() {
        if (rigidbody != null)
            Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");
        
    }
}
