Modify the specified Unity Object. Allows direct modification of object fields and properties. Use 'object-get-data' first to inspect the object structure before modifying.
unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-modify --input '{
"objectRef": "string_value",
"objectDiff": "string_value"
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-modify --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-modify --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally () or use instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
npm install -g unity-mcp-clinpx unity-mcp-cli| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
objectRef | any | Yes | Reference to UnityEngine.Object instance. It could be GameObject, Component, Asset, etc. Anything extended from UnityEngine.Object. |
objectDiff | any | Yes | The object data to apply. 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. |
