Question by Pipioca · Aug 21, 2014 at 12:00 PM · c#getcomponent

Error when using getComponent to use a variable

Hi!

I have two script in C#. In the first script i have only the the character's life and in the second script i try show t$$anonymous$$s variable with the character's life.

SCRIPT 1:

 public class comunicar_script1_c: MonoBehaviour {
 
     //Con static podemos acceder a la variable desde otro script
     static public int vida = 10;
 }


SCRIPT 2:

 public class comunicar_script2_c : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void Start () {
         comunicar_script1_c vidaPersonaje;
         vidaPersonaje = GetComponent("comunicar_script1_c") as comunicar_script1_c;
         vidaPersonaje.vida = vidaPersonaje.vida - 3;
         Debug.Log(vidaa);
     }
 }

The console show me t$$anonymous$$s ERROR:

error CS0176: Static member `comunicar_script1_c.vida' cannot be accessed with an instance reference, qualify it with a type name instead

Anybody knows why?

I've also tried with int GetComponent ().vida; and not$$anonymous$$ng.

Thanks!!

Greetings!

Change:

 comunicar_script1_c vidaPersonaje;
 vidaPersonaje = GetComponent("comunicar_script1_c") as comunicar_script1_c;
 vidaPersonaje.vida = vidaPersonaje.vida - 3;

to just:

 comunicar_script1_c.vida -= 3;



T$$anonymous$$s is because static fields (variables) are accessed like t$$anonymous$$s:

 ClassName.staticField

and you accessed it like it's a non static field (meaning: from instance)
