Adding Multiple scripts to same GameObject in runtime

Question

Greeting,

I was wondering is it possible to add multiple different scripts using array to same game object at the beginning of runtime.

This is a pseudo-code I think of:

public GameObject TargetObject;
public string[] ScriptsToAdd;

void Start(){
     for(int i = 0; i < ScriptsToAdd.Length; i++){
           TargetObject.addComponent<ScriptsToAdd[i]>();
     }
}

If I did something wrong here, please do let me know.

First, AddComponent instead of addComponent. Second, you need a type, not a string. It won't work imo. adding-component - you need to get a type using its literal name. — Taksah

There some things you're doing wrong :

first : use AddComponent instead of addComponent.
second : you can't add string as component you use type for example List<Type> components.

The alternative that OP seems to want to use would be AddComponent(string) but agree one should prefer AddComponent<TComponent>() whenever possible
