public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour { // Create 10 game objects, which will have random Instance IDs void Awake() { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { GameObject g = new GameObject("abc" + i.ToString("D3")); } }

// Find all the game objects and display their Instance IDs void Start() { Object[] allObjects = Object.FindObjectsOfType<GameObject>();
