BCE0019: 'distanceScore' is not a member of 'float'. (JavaScript)

Question

BCE0019: 'distanceScore' is not a member of 'float'.

I am trying to access a static variable from another script and attach that value to a float variable. Here is my code for the static variable:

 static var distanceScore: float;

and the number gets assigned later in the script

here is the code for the variable i'm trying to assign:

 var score: float;
 
 score = score.distanceScore;

How can I fix this? (let me know if you think some of my other code might be the problem and I'll be sure to post it.)

You have to try with, Class name and access that members from another script. Basic scripting will help to fix this, here you go.

Test1.js

 public static var distanceScore : float = 100.0f;

Test2.js

 var score : float;
 
 function Start () 
 {
 score = Test1.distanceScore;
 print("Score : "+score); //Prints 100.
 }

Whether you attached both the scripts to game Object ? If so, it'll work 100% And paste the code what you modified.

What I did was I added public in front of my static variable. These scripts are attached to a game object, but not the same game object. And I changed the name of the variable score to scoreFinal so that it doesn't match the name of the script "score"

You have to access class member using that Class name . like score = Test1.distanceScore; score = score.distanceScore; wont work. Try to learn basic programming.

I know, score is the name of the script. That's why I changed the variable name score to scoreFinal.

My problem solved. I had to change the name of the script. The name "Menu.js" is prohibited in Unity5.x . In Unity3.x or Unity4.x was OK. My project have GUI skin with name "Menu" and scene with name "Menu". Maybe now this it is problem.
