Question by slowki · Apr 29, 2014 at 12:20 PM · gameobjectgetcomponentscorefindpublic variable

I have a little problem getting a component from another script

Hi I am currently making a score system for a game. I have 2 scripts: Movement & Score. The Movement contains a public variable public int score;

I want to get that score into my score script, but it can't find the score:

 public class Score : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public int finalScore = 1;
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         finalScore = GameObject.Find("Pacman").GetComponent<Movement>.;
         guiText.text = "Score " + finalScore;
     }
 }

I get this error: Assets/Scriptes/Score.cs(14,48): error CS0119: Expression denotes a method group', where a variable', value' or type' was expected

You're missing parenthesis at the end of the get component method, and after the . you should have the name of the variable you're looking for

 finalScore = GameObject.Find("Pacman").GetComponent<Movement>().score;
