How to reference the current colliding object's script
I am working on a project that simulates the Pathfinder RPG Hex Exploration and Kingdom Building rules.
I have a project with a scene that generates a 7×11 hex grid, using an instance of prefabColider which has attached to it the HexDetails script, and at runtime assigns instanced geometry from a series of prefabs.
The HexDetails script keeps a track of the type of terrain and features the hex has, as well as it has been explored or not (all Booleans).
I have a First Person Controller with a Daytime script attached which keeps track of how many hours have passed and events.
I can successfully run the scene, generating the prefab colliders and the basic terrain.
When I move my first person controller from hex to hex, the script in HexDetails onTriggerEnter fires off fine on the colliders, allowing me to track the travel time from one hex to the next.
However, I have assigned a function called ExploreHex (found in the Daytime script on the First Person Controller) which I want to detect whether or not the current prefabCollider the First Person Controller is colliding with (a prefabCollider(Clone) instance) has been explored (the instanced HexDetails script's Explored Boolean switches to true), and if not, set the Explored Boolean to true. The script to increment the time passed works, but then the console throws out an error:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Daytime.ExploreHex () (at Assets/Imported Assets/Scripts/Daytime.cs:58) Daytime.Update () (at Assets/Imported Assets/Scripts/Daytime.cs:50)
I can only assign individual prefabCollider(Clone) instances to the Daytime script on my First Person Controller, but I need it to be looking at the current instanced HexDetails on the collider prefab it is currently touching, not on a particular oneā¦
Please help?

I didn't go further but the error is caused by not initializing the Hexdetails object...
public HexDetails getHexDetails = new HexDetails();
Thanks for the reply vargata, I replaced:
public HexDetails getHexDetails;
...with your code in Daytime.cs. However, I got an error:
You are trying to create a $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour using the 'new' keyword. This is not allowed. $$anonymous$$onoBehaviours can only be added using AddComponent(). Alternatively, your script can inherit from ScriptableObject or no base class at all
Any ideas?
The individual scripts on the cloned objects are not updating when x (mapped to ExploreHex()) is pressed, and the Debug.Log text stating that the Hex has been explored appears on the second try, even in another Hex...
Actually, looking at it, I am not sure that my colliders are prefabs, they are black in the Hierarchy... If this is weird, the problem could be in the Hex$$anonymous$$anager script...
