An object reference is required to acess non-static member.

Question

So I have an array of structs :

 public LevelInf[] levels;

inside of the class "GameInfo"

 public class GameInfo : MonoBehaviour {

which is made static by a child variable

 public static GameInfo info;

however, when I try to access the array of structs in another script,

 if(GameInfo.levels[level].speed) {

I get the "An object reference is required to access non-static member". I've know what this error is saying, and I know that there is a huge google results page of this question, but I don't know why I'm getting it, as "GameInfo" is indeed a static member. Additionally, I can't make the struct array static, as I need to change it's values in the inspector.

The child variable is static but the class itself isn't and it's non-static member is 'levels'. To fix it you have to create an instance of the object so that you can reference it with your variable:

 void Start()
 {
     info = new GameInfo();
 }

Thank you! Funilly (is that a word?) enough, I figured that out like 2 $$anonymous$$utes before I saw your answer. Thanks anyway, though.
