Safely Check and Access Components with TryGetComponent

The Tip: Calling GetComponent<T>() inside conditional checks or update loops can lead to unnecessary overhead or NullReferenceException risks.

How to Use: Use TryGetComponent<T>(out var component). It returns a bool indicating component existence while assigning the output variable cleanly without allocating garbage.

using UnityEngine;

public class Interaction : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.TryGetComponent(out IDamageable damageable))
        {
            damageable.TakeDamage(25);
        }
    }
}
