Calling a variable from another script overwrites it?

The HideInInspector attribute does not remove the cached serialisation on fields.

$$anonymous$$akes a variable not show up in the inspector but be serialized.

There is a chance that it is set to false in the inspector which would be overriding you setting it in the initialisation. It shouldnt be overriding the one in your awake though. But if you dont need it to be serialised and want to have a variable that isnt visible in the inspector why not use a property instead?

public GameObject[] rigidBodies; $$anonymous$$eshInfo[] info;

 void Start()
 {
     info = new $$anonymous$$eshInfo[rigidBodies.Length];
     for (int i = 0; i < rigidBodies.Length; i++)
     {
         info[i] = rigidBodies[i].GetComponent<$$anonymous$$eshInfo>();
         print("bool: " + info[i].exampleBool);//stays false
     }
 }

Am not using properties because I don´t know them... What are those?

To modify the value from other script, you can make separate methods or get set accessors

 public bool exampleBool{ get; private set; }
 
 public bool ExampleBool{ set{ exampleBool = value; }}
 
 
 // or
 
 
 public void SetExampleBool(bool newValue){ exampleBool = newValue; }
 
 
 // To other scripts
 
 
 public ScriptThatHasExampleBoolOnIt scriptThatHasExampleBoolOnIt;
 
 void Start(){
      scriptThatHasExampleBoolOnIt.ExampleBool = true;
 
     // or
 
      scriptThatHasExampleBoolOnIt.SetExampleBool(true);
 }
