# Object / Modify

## How to Call

```bash
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:
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-modify --input-file args.json
> ```
>
> Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool object-modify --input-file - <<'EOF'
> {"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 |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `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. |
