Do I need to assign fields in Awake?

Question

Unity

I can do like this:

// В начале еще RequireComponent

private Rigidbody _rigidbody;

private void Awake()
{
    _rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

But at the same time, I can add the SerializeField attribute and put Rigidbody in the inspector.

Which option is more correct? GetComponent is a dumb option?

Answer 1

you can do it this way, it depends on the situation, for example, if 5-10 objects do this, then it's okay, but if 100+, then it's better to make a prefab and specify it through [sf]
