Javascript - Generic List question

Hello, first time writer, long time reader.

Javascript code.

I am trying to construct a inventory system. I was following along some guides and came to a point where I was stuck. The video was using C#, so I was attempting to convert from C# to JS as I went along which worked until I came to the below issue.

I have a ItemDatabase that uses a generic List "Items" that I can edit in the inspector.

I'm trying to pull the variables from that list to another script. I can't seem to figure this out and searching generic lists in google gives a ton of answer that are not helpful here.

this is my list in script Database, it's pulling the variables from script "Items".

var items : List. = new List.();

This is a sample of the variables in the script "Items";

public var itemID = 0; public var itemAttack = 0;

I then go and set the values for each item in the inspector. This allows me to easily grow the list as I go along.

Now say i want to grab the itemAttack value for calculating attack, how could I grab that?

If I use items[1].itemAttack (the item I'm trying to use being the second item in the list) in the script Database it pulls just fine, I've tested with Debug.Log. However if I try to utilize that in another script it does not. I usually get Object does not support slicing.

I was thinking that in the script Database it knows it's a list and therefore can read the [] and know what I am asking. However if I try to pull it in another script I figured the script didn't know there were variables stored in the list so it wasn't pulling them.

Do I need to declare something in every script I intend to have the values set in?

I tried to set a var ItemList to GameObject.Find("ItemDatabase").GetComponent(Database).items;

but that seems to set that var to a Object rather then the list.

Any help would be appreciated. I've spent most of my weekend reading and I'm not finding a solution.

Thank you,
