Unable to access a script using raycast 2d

Question

So what i am trying do is that i am trying to shoot a raycast that destroys another object. the problem is that the raycast is messed up and i dont know what to do now. pls help

 public class CUT : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
 
     public TREE tree;
     public Camera cam;
     public GameObject PLAYER;
     public bool EVENT;
     public GameObject treeObject;
     public LayerMask p_Layer;
  
 
     void Update()
     {
         PLAYER = this.gameObject;
 
 
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             Vector3 vector3 = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
             Vector3 mousePos = vector3;
             Vector2 mousePos2D = new Vector2(mousePos.x, mousePos.y);
 
             RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(PLAYER.transform.position, mousePos2D, 50, p_Layer);
             treeObject = hit.collider.transform.gameObject;
 
             tree = treeObject.gameObject.GetComponent<TREE>();
             EVENT = tree.CutEvent;
 
             
 
 
 
             if (hit.collider != null)
             {
                 Debug.Log("YUP");
                 EVENT = true;
             }
         
             if (hit.collider == null)
             {
                 Debug.Log("NOPE");
 
             }
 
 
         }
     }
 }

this is the code and

 public class TREE : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public bool iscuttable;
     public string TreeType;
     public int CutType;
     public GameObject player;
     public LayerMask P_layer;
     [SerializeField] private float Circle;
     public bool CutEvent = false;
     GameObject ThisTree;
 
     public void Update()
     {
         
         iscuttable = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position, Circle, P_layer);
         if (CutEvent & iscuttable)
         {
             StartCoroutine(Enumerator());
         }
     }
 
     IEnumerator Enumerator ()
     {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
         ThisTree = this.gameObject;
         Destroy(ThisTree);
     }
 
 
 }

this the code i am trying to access

It seems that you are trying to set TREE.CutEvent to true. When you do this:

EVENT = tree.CutEvent;

You are copying the value of CutEvent to the variable EVENT. And then when you do:

EVENT = true;

You are just setting the copied variable to true - this won't reflect on the original tree.CutEvent.

This is because primitive types (bool, int, float, string) are value-types.

You probably just want to do tree.CutEvent = true
