Howto access a variable in another script?
In level 1 I have an object (obj1) with a script (script1), and a variable (var1). I have attached:
function Awake () {DontDestroyOnLoad (transform.gameObject);}
to script1 to keep it alive when level 2 is loaded. In level 2 i have an object (obj2) that would need to check the variable (var1) in obj1 - script1.
I have tried on obj2:
function Start(){
var checkit : script1 = GetComponent(script1).var1;
Debug.Log(checkit);}
but I think this might only search for the code on the same object, not sure. Could anyone help with how to access the other object, please?
In order to get the objects variable, you need to access the component (your case, the script) through the gameobject, something like this:
var other : script1 = obj1.GetComponent(script1);
var variableFromScript = other.var1;
I only use C# so the code might not be right, but hopefully you see the thread of thought here.
Good luck!
I changed to the suggestion, but it continues to give errors. It says: BCE0005: $$anonymous$$ identifier: ´obj1´. Still - Thx for suggestion!
You cant just write 'obj1', it needs to be a valid gameobject before you can try and access the component.
Find the object you want to access (in your case, the 'obj1' gameobject) with a search function like:
GameObject.FindWithTag
or,
GameObject.Find
or attach it to the script by settings a public Gameobject in the class.
THX! Now it seems to work!
function Start(){
var checkit : script1 = GameObject.Find("obj1").GetComponent(script1);
var variableFromScript = checkit.var1;
}
