Object.FindObjectOfType

Description

Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.

Please note that this function is very slow. It is not recommended to use this function every frame. In most cases you can use the singleton pattern instead.

// Search for any object of Type GUITexture, 
// if found print its name, else print a message
// that says that it was not found.
function Start() {

  var texture : GUITexture = FindObjectOfType(GUITexture);
  if(texture)
    Debug.Log("GUITexture object found: " + texture.name);
  else
    Debug.Log("No GUITexture object could be found");

}

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour {
    void Start() {
        GUITexture texture = FindObjectOfType(typeof(GUITexture));
        if (texture)

        else
