# Gameobject Component Modify

> Modify a specific Component on a GameObject in opened Prefab or in a Scene. Allows direct modification of component fields and properties without wrapping in GameObject structure. Use 'gameobject-component-get' first to inspect the component structure before modifying. Three modification surfaces are available (componentDiff, pathPatches, jsonPatch) — see the skill body for details.

## Install

```sh
agentstack add skill-ivanmurzak-unity-mcp-gameobject-component-modify
```

Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

## About

# GameObject / Component / Modify

## Three modification surfaces

Use whichever fits the task:

1. `componentDiff` — full `SerializedMember` diff (legacy, backwards compatible).
2. `pathPatches` — list of `{path, value}` pairs routed through `Reflector.TryModifyAt`; atomic per-path modification, multiple entries can target different depths.
3. `jsonPatch` — a JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7396, extended with `[i]`/`[key]` notation) routed through `Reflector.TryPatch`; multiple fields at any depth in a single call.

When more than one is supplied they run in this order: `jsonPatch` → `pathPatches` → `componentDiff`. At least one is required.

## Path syntax

`fieldName`, `nested/field`, `arrayField/[i]`, `dictField/[key]`. Leading `#/` is stripped.

## How to Call

```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-component-modify --input '{
  "gameObjectRef": "string_value",
  "componentRef": "string_value",
  "componentDiff": "string_value",
  "pathPatches": "string_value",
  "jsonPatch": "string_value"
}'
```

> For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-component-modify --input-file args.json
> ```
>
> Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool gameobject-component-modify --input-file -  {"param": "value"}
> EOF
> ```

### Troubleshooting

If `unity-mcp-cli` is not found, either install it globally (`npm install -g unity-mcp-cli`) or use `npx unity-mcp-cli` instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

## Input

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `gameObjectRef` | `any` | Yes | Find GameObject in opened Prefab or in the active Scene. |
| `componentRef` | `any` | Yes | Component reference. Used to find a Component at GameObject. |
| `componentDiff` | `any` | No | Optional. The full component data to apply (legacy path). Should contain 'fields' and/or 'props' with the values to modify.
Only include the fields/properties you want to change.
Any unknown or invalid fields and properties will be reported in the response. |
| `pathPatches` | `any` | No | Optional. List of path-scoped patches routed through Reflector.TryModifyAt. Each entry targets one field/element/entry by path. Path syntax: 'fieldName', 'nested/field', 'arrayField/[i]', 'dictField/[key]'. |
| `jsonPatch` | `any` | No | Optional. JSON Merge Patch (RFC 7396, extended with [i]/[key] keys) routed through Reflector.TryPatch. Allows multiple fields at any depth to be updated in a single call. Use '$type' for compatible-subtype replacement. |
