Question by adamantium014 · Aug 28, 2014 at 06:03 AM · get component

Proper syntax for GetComponent

Im trying to access goldAmount on the mainScript thru the goldScript which is on the gold GameObject. I cant for the life of me figure out the GetComponent action. Here are my two scripts:

mainScript

 var customStyle3: GUIStyle;
 var size : Vector2 = new Vector2(60,20);
 public var goldAmount : int;
 
 
 function OnGUI()
 {
     GUI.Label (Rect(Screen.width /2 , 0, size.x, size.y), "Gold : " + goldAmount, customStyle3);
 }

goldScript

 function addGold()
 {
 
 //mainScript = GameObject.Find ("Main Camera").GetComponent(goldAmount);
 
 
 
 //goldAmount ++;
 
 //Destroy (gameObject);
 }
 
 function Start()
 {
     WaitForSeconds(3);
     addGold();
 }

For future posts, please format your code. After pasting, select your code and use the 101/010 button. I fixed it for you this time.

Hello..

1) Create object of type "mainScript" in goldScript.

  private var mainscriptObj : mainScript;

2) Get refference of this script.

  mainscriptObj = GameObject.Find ("Main Camera").GetComponent(mainScript);

3) Now you can access goldAmount.

  mainscriptObj.goldAmount++;


Thanks.

You should not use quotes in GetComponent.

You cannot acces the gold amound like this

 mainScript = GameObject.Find ("Main Camera").GetComponent(goldAmount);

GetComponent is meant for getting components of an object.Like getting the transform property or a script but definetly not a variable from that script. Try like this:

 var MainScript = GameObject.Find ("Main Camera").GetComponent("mainScript");
 //i would change the variable named mainScript too so there are no confusions...
 //then you acces it through the MainScript object
 MainScript.goldAmount = 100;
