Accessing a Nonstatic method from another script
So, for the first time in several weeks my google-fu has failed me, and here i am.
What i want to do is to access a method i've got in script A from script B.
script A example:
void printStuff(string stuff)
{
print(stuff)
}
I want to give printStuff a value which is made in script b, but i dont want to make it static, my scripting genes tell me to use get/return, but i havnt been able to find anything that explains me how it works.
So can anyone here?, i know the question is not directly related to Unity, probably more C#.
Thanks in Advance

When something isn't static, you need to access a particular instance of the script in question. This is typically done in one script, by calling GetComponent<> on the GameObject, to which the other script is attached. Here's a small example (C#). A and B are attached to two different GameObjects:
public class A : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { B instanceOfB = GameObject.Find("Name of GameObject to which B is attached").GetComponent<B>(); instanceOfB.printStuff("this is b's method"); } }
public class B : MonoBehaviour { public void printStuff(string blah) { print(blah); } }
There are two ways: 1) make your script singleton - see in wiki community. But this way is not always useful.
2) every script is attached to gameobject. Use GameObject GetComponentto get it.
