Base class for everything attached to GameObjects.
Note that your code will never directly create a Component. Instead, you write script code, and attach the script to a GameObject. See Also: ScriptableObject as a way to create scripts that do not attach to any GameObject.
| gameObject | The game object this component is attached to. A component is always attached to a game object. |
| tag | The tag of this game object. |
| transform | The Transform attached to this GameObject (null if there is none attached). |
| BroadcastMessage | Calls the method named methodName on every MonoBehaviour in this game object or any of its children. |
| CompareTag | Is this game object tagged with tag ? |
| GetComponent | Returns the component of Type type if the game object has one attached, null if it doesn't. |

| GetComponentInParent | Returns the component of Type type in the GameObject or any of its parents. |
| GetComponents | Returns all components of Type type in the GameObject. |
