Question

Answer 1

To be able to add your custom script to the game object on the scene, this custom script must be inherited from MonoBehaviour. After that, you can add your class do game object in the inspector (by clicking Add Component button, see image below) or from code by calling

gameObjToAddComponent.AddComponent<MyAwesomeComponentType>();
