In Unity, I've almost 200 or more objects. I wish to apply single script to all those objects.
I'm a beginner & learning scripts in Unity.
Edit: At the time of editing the scene itself.

1\$\begingroup\$ Are you talking during runtime, or simply in the editor? You have not clarified, this is important. The assumption is you mean at runtime \$\endgroup\$– nickson104Commented May 26, 2015 at 11:39

Here are the steps for applying scripts to multiple objects.
- Step 1. Select all your objects from
Hierarchypanel. - Step 2. Then from
Projectpanel drag & drop your script intoInspectorpanel.

1\$\begingroup\$ You should take a look at prefabs, before you get to deep into your game, they are easy to pick up and will save you a ton of time. A quick run down would be, if you have an item that you want to have multiple copies of, drag it into the project panel, each time you drag that item that was created into the hierarchy panel it will create a new instance of it. If you make changes to the item and apply them it will carry over across all of those objects. \$\endgroup\$– LatencyCommented May 26, 2015 at 21:47

You can add script at runtime. You can create an empty objects with a script that "browse" the 200 or more objects and atach the sript to each of them
Example: to add the script named FoobarScript to the game object use:
gameObject.AddComponent ("FoobarScript");
Clearly you must recognize all the objects. (example you can use FindGameObjectsWithTag) Full example:
objList = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("MeaningfullTagName");
foreach (GameObject obj in objList ) {
obj.AddComponent ("YourScript");"
}
