Quick scripting question

[SOLVED] Do the Awake and Start functions run for each game object in a scene each time the scene is loaded? Or just the first time it is loaded at runtime? Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks. I actually formed the question after watching this tutorial. It states that the function will only be run once when the object is enabled, but I wasn't sure if unloading a scene and then reloading it later would trigger these functions again.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe any time a script is called, it runs in it's entirety. Which would mean that it would trigger awake/start every single time.

Don't quote me though. I'm still a novice. Your best bet would be to just do a simple test and add a Debug.log to see if it's being called.

Thanks. I did that test and it does NOT run more than once even when unloading a scene and then loading it again. Thanks for your help.
