Description

MonoBehaviour is a base class that many Unity scripts derive from.

MonoBehaviour offers life cycle functions that make it easier to develop with Unity.

MonoBehaviours always exist as a Component of a GameObject, and can be instantiated with GameObject.AddComponent. Objects that need to exist independently of a GameObject should derive from ScriptableObject instead.

A MonoBehaviour can be deleted with Object.Destroy or Object.DestroyImmediate. When the parent GameObject is destroyed all components are automatically deleted, including MonoBehaviours.

After the underlying component is destroyed, the C# object for the MonoBehaviour remains in memory until garbage is collected. A MonoBehaviour in this state acts as if it is null. For example, it returns true for a "obj == null" check. However, this class doesn't support the null-conditional operator (?.) and the null-coalescing operator (??).

When a MonoBehaviour is serialized, the value of C# fields are included according to Unity's Serialization rules. See Script Serialization for details. The serialized data also includes internal properties, such as the reference to the MonoScript that tracks the implementation class for the object.

For code samples, see the individual MonoBehaviour methods.

Note: There is a checkbox for enabling or disabling MonoBehaviour in the Unity Editor. It disables functions when unticked. If none of these functions are present in the script, the Unity Editor does not display the checkbox. The functions are:

Start()
Update()
FixedUpdate()
LateUpdate()
OnGUI()
OnDisable()
OnEnable()

Properties

destroyCancellationTokenCancellation token raised when the MonoBehaviour is destroyed (Read Only).
runInEditModeAllow a specific instance of a MonoBehaviour to run in edit mode (only available in the editor).
useGUILayoutDisabling this lets you skip the GUI layout phase.

Public Methods

CancelInvokeCancels all Invoke calls on this MonoBehaviour.
InvokeInvokes the method methodName in time seconds.

IsInvokingIs any invoke on methodName pending?
StartCoroutineStarts a Coroutine.
StopAllCoroutinesStops all coroutines running on this behaviour.
StopCoroutineStops the first coroutine named methodName, or the coroutine stored in routine running on this behaviour.

Static Methods

OnCollisionExit2DSent when a collider on another object stops touching this object's collider (2D physics only).
OnCollisionStayOnCollisionStay is called once per frame for every Collider or Rigidbody that touches another Collider or Rigidbody.
OnCollisionStay2DSent each frame where a collider on another object is touching this object's collider (2D physics only).
OnConnectedToServerCalled on the client when you have successfully connected to a server.
OnControllerColliderHitOnControllerColliderHit is called when the controller hits a collider while performing a Move.
OnDestroyDestroying the attached Behaviour will result in the game or Scene receiving OnDestroy.
OnDisableThis function is called when the behaviour becomes disabled.
OnDisconnectedFromServerCalled on the client when the connection was lost or you disconnected from the server.
OnDrawGizmosImplement OnDrawGizmos if you want to draw gizmos that are also pickable and always drawn.
OnDrawGizmosSelectedImplement OnDrawGizmosSelected to draw a gizmo if the object is selected.
OnEnableThis function is called when the object becomes enabled and active.
OnFailedToConnectCalled on the client when a connection attempt fails for some reason.
OnFailedToConnectToMasterServerCalled on clients or servers when there is a problem connecting to the MasterServer.
OnGUIOnGUI is called for rendering and handling GUI events.
OnJointBreakCalled when a joint attached to the same game object broke.
OnJointBreak2DCalled when a Joint2D attached to the same game object breaks.
OnMasterServerEventCalled on clients or servers when reporting events from the MasterServer.
OnMouseDown OnMouseDown is called when the user has pressed the mouse button while over the Collider.
OnMouseDragOnMouseDrag is called when the user has clicked on a Collider and is still holding down the mouse.
OnMouseEnterCalled when the mouse enters the Collider.
OnMouseExitCalled when the mouse is not any longer over the Collider.
OnMouseOverCalled every frame while the mouse is over the Collider.
OnMouseUpOnMouseUp is called when the user has released the mouse button.
OnMouseUpAsButtonOnMouseUpAsButton is only called when the mouse is released over the same Collider as it was pressed.
OnNetworkInstantiateCalled on objects which have been network instantiated with Network.Instantiate.
OnParticleCollisionOnParticleCollision is called when a particle hits a Collider.
OnParticleSystemStoppedOnParticleSystemStopped is called when all particles in the system have died, and no new particles will be born. New particles cease to be created either after Stop is called, or when the duration property of a non-looping system has been exceeded.
