11:30 Accessing Scripts & Variables on other Game Objects

Your game logic may require scripts to interact with each other. How can one script on one GameObject get a reference to another script on a different GameObject during the game? Scripts are attached by a component so we just need to figure out how to access those game objects. Let’s try this out.

Let’s start by making a new scene – call it WorkingTwoSripts

• Create a Triangle Sprite
• Create a Square Sprite
• Create Two Scripts (name them:)
  • Triangle Script
  • Square Script
• Attach each script to the corresponding game objects

Now let’s write some code

First, let’s Add an audio clip to our project (there is one in Public Folders) and then add the Audio Source component to our Square

Then let’s open the Square Script

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class SquareScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public AudioSource audioSrc; //to reference an audio clip
    public int score = 0;
    public bool puppyIsCute = false;


    public void FunkySound()
    {
        audioSrc.Play();
        Debug.Log("The SoundScript was called");


    }

    public void MakeTrue()
    {
        puppyIsCute = true;
    }


    public void SetScore()
    {
        score++;
    }

}

Be sure to plug in the AudioSource component (or drag the Square game object to our new public variable slot in the inspector)

Then, let’s open the Triangle Script.

The first thing we need to do is create a reference to the script (and game object) that has the script we want to access. We’ll do this by making a variable that stores the script information.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class TriangleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SquareScript squareScrpt;  // this creates a reference to Square Script



    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("space"))
        {
            squareScrpt.FunkySound();
            Debug.Log("audio is playing");

            squareScrpt.MakeTrue();
            Debug.Log("My Pupply is cute: " + squareScrpt.puppyIsCute);

            squareScrpt.SetScore();
            Debug.Log("The Score is: " + squareScrpt.score);


        }
    }

}

Pretty cool. By using the dot operator (.) we can access variables like score, the boolean and we can access methods.

Now you try – create a method of your own. Make sure it is set to Public. Try making a variable too.
