get test = 1 from string "test = 1" ?
so i'm making a console in my game and want to get the string that the player has typed in and execute it, for instance if the player typed in healthcontroll.PlayerHealth = 100; then it would set healthcontroll.PlayerHealth to 100. I'm trying to do this in C#
This is kind of hard - you have to plug in an interpreter or if you are building standalone only stuff, you can use the inbuilt C# codedom compiler.
There's a javascript plugin interpreter for free on the Asset Store.
I guess that would help if you wrote your own parser for the strings in the first place
I know its not going to be easy but i really want to be able to do this , im not really to sure about the generic way to get properties. Writing my own parser?
keep in $$anonymous$$d of where you are building this to, as when the game is compiled, I do not think you can call functions from your original script anymore. Like if you are making this for IOS
So you either have to parse what the user types into commands that you could then use @erick_weil's methods of getting and setting properties based on what you'd worked out the user wanted to do (or more probably using Reflection).
You could also consider this https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/2345 which is a Javascript compiler integration and it's free.
If all of these terms (codedom, interpreter, reflection) seem hard to you - then you are in for a lot of reading, this is all advanced stuff and if it's beyond your current learning level, it might be better to tackle a more straightforward thing first.
@Anxo - these methods would all work on IOS
