Question by L1vD3v · Oct 18, 2014 at 12:44 AM · c#variableaccess

Access static variable c#

I have a c# script, with a static variable inside, that I would like to access, from another c# script but I cant figure out how. I was kind of thinking, if it was just like in Javascript, where you can do it like this.

 var targetScript : Script;
 
 function OnGUI () {
 
 if (GUI.button(Rect(100,100,100,100),"Test")){
 targetScript.number + 10;
 }
 
 }

But how would i do this in c#?

you need to set the variable first

 public static int number;


This is how you access it in another script

 void Start(){
 
     TheOtherScript.number = 10;
 }

Thank you very much, but now I get this error, "Static class CurrencyScript' cannot derive from type UnityEngine.$$anonymous$$onoBehaviour'. Static classes must derive from object" and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong.

I will try and make it clearer to you about using a static variable.

Here is the first script.

 public class script1 : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
   public static int number;
 }

Now here is the other script that you needs to access script 1

 public class Script2 : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
    
 
    void Start(){
 
       script1.number = 10;
    }
 }


If you want to access another script entirely you should do this

 public class Script2 : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
    public Script1 script1; //Assign what script you need in the      inspector and make sure it is of type "Script1"
 
    void Start(){
      
      script1.number = 10;
      script1.word = "hello";
      script1.transform = this.transform;
    }
 
 }

Thank you so much. I searched a lot and you are the only one that explained exactly what I want to do (use the static variables on another object).

Oh sorry, I meant is how to reference the public static class, and I already found that solution. int value = AnotherScipt.instance.variable;
