C# Referencing other Script
Hello again, I'm very new to C#, but desperately want to start learning. However, I'm having some trouble with something that I'm pretty sure is very simple.
In Javascript, I could easily do this...
private var GameGod : GameObject;
private var GameScript : GodScript;
function Start() {
GameGod = GameObject.Find("Game God");
GameScript = GameGod.GetComponent("GodScript");
}
However, when I try to do something similar in C#
private GameObject GameGod;
private GodScript GameScript;
void Start () {
GameGod = GameObject.Find("Game God");
GameScript = GameGod.GetComponent("GodScript");
}
I get an error saying "The type or namespace name "GodScript" could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?"
I'm not sure what's wrong, but I have a feeling I'll feel stupid when I find out lol.
P.S. GodScript was written in Javascript. I don't know if that's relevant or not
That definitely has something to do with it. I remember reading something about the compile order of Javascript and C# on the docs somewhere, but there can be problems when you mix the two.
$$anonymous$$eh...I'll just rewrite this script in Javascript I guess. That's what I get for wanting to learn C# halfway through a game project lol.
Here it is.

I would say it probably is easier to start with independent scripts, but you can affect the order things are compiled by changing the location. Otherwise you can't have C# dependent on JavaScript or vice-versa.
Is your GodScript type being defined anywhere the script can find it? If you're mixing and matching languages, take a look here to see what you have to worry about in terms of compile order.
edit: ya, what @sharat said
First and foremost, try not to start your variable names with upper case letters. It makes it hard to distinguish them from types.
You probably need to do this:
gameScript = gameGod.GetComponent<GodScript>();
