Yes, it is indeed possible.

In Monodevelop or your preferred scripting program, simply type in what you would like a variable to do and the compiler will interpret this for you. For example, you could write this:

I would like my variable to increase every second frame, and to change from true to false whenever I come into contact with collider with tag "foo". Oh, and I would also love it if it could specify my object with the name "foobar" and move it to my player's transform.position. If you could do all that compiler and name my variable "bar", then I'd be super happy.

I think that should work, if not then I think the only way you can typecast is by actually typecasting per se.

Hope this helps, Klep
