Unity Basics - How to access other scripts

[@MetalStormGames]

I see this question asked on Discord and Forums a lot from beginners, here are some simple ways to get started accessing other scripts and variables! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! I just faced this problem but remebered it from courses and here is your video)

[@MetalStormGames]

Glad it helped! This is just a few of the many ways you can do it but its a great place to start learning from.

Great tutorial on the basics of accessing other scripts! Something else that could be good to break down, going on from this example, would be using 'inheritance' scripts. How they can be use for handling stats like health and possibly even the use of function calls that can check values as you change variables to check for states like death. Quite a bit more complex, but I remember it taking me so long to get that when I was starting out.

[@MetalStormGames]

I was thinking that when I made the video having to add the name variable in each script. I am adding Inheritance to a list of basics topics to do in the future. Thanks

This is awesome. I hate having to drag everything piece by piece. And all of the tutorials show this same process of drag and drop.

[@MetalStormGames]

Glad it helped you out, I want to do a lot more of these Basics type videos coming up as well.

Thanks 😁

Finally got a solution, thanks. The only thing is, I wanted to save the highscore, therefore it was private in the other script, due this I had to set it public. Are there any ways to leave it private and still get access to it?! 🤔

[@MetalStormGames]

If you search for Properties that should help with that, it will let you control how to access it from other scripts without making it fully public

TY for this video. Ive got a question; is there any way to do this using a prefab

[@MetalStormGames]

You could put any script like this on to a prefab yes but it would depend what you are trying to do and what you are trying to access. If you a specific scenario in mind please post it and I can try to answer a bit better.

@@MetalStormGames hi ty for getting back so fast. Basically, i want to make it that when my player gets hit by a missile, all the instantiated missiles disappear. This is so that when I click on play again I can't get killed by a non-despawned missile
