I can't access the static variable in arrays.

Question

 Script:1
 public class Test : MonoBehaviour
 {
 public List<GameObject> list;
 
 public void value()
     {
         list[0].Test2.number+=100;
     }
 }
 
 Script:2
 
 public class Test2: MonoBehaviour
 {
     public static int number;
 void Update()
     {
         if(number > 0)
         {
             Debug.Log(number);
         }
         
     }
 }

I created a list, I want to access the zeroth element, I cannot access it. How do I access it with code.

EDIT: This is wrong, sorry. The correct solution is in my comment below.

To access classes/scripts of gameObjects, you need to use GetComponent first. So you would want to instead use list[0].GetComponent<Test2>().number += 100;

Hope this helps!

A 'static' variable does not 'belong' to individual gameObjects: it belongs to the class. If you have several gameObjects with a Test2 component, changing number in one will change number in all of them. Therefore, since number 'belongs' to Test2, you can skip accessing the list of gameObjects entirely and just use Test2.number += 100;

I want to assign the Test2 script value of the zeroth item. I just want to do this. Is there a solution to do this?

If that's the case, you need to delete the static keyword on number to make it an instance variable. Then you can edit the variables of individual objects with the technique in my original answer. If you want to have number be static, there is absolutely no way to access number in just the zeroth item.

list[0].GetComponent().number += 100; I tried that method but it didn't work
