Access a particular variable

So I have a Widget buttons ( leap) and all of the buttons are running a script called button script. I want to access either a particular public variable for a particular button or call a function of that button that would return the particular variable. How can I do this?
Because every script for all the buttons are called the same if i call
scriptName.getValue();

It would return the value of a random button. I want it to return the value of a particular one. Ive tried
Using an SerializeField and input the button that way and then call the function that would return the variable i want but auto complete does not show that option.


thanks,

Fredy

 

Get a handle to that particular button and do GetComponent to grab the button script. That way you have that objects button script.

 

The variable I want to access is called "value", and the function that returns that value is called "getValue("). The button gameobject is called "button" , so I would called button.getComponent , then how would I reach the variable I need( value)?


Thanks!

 

Check out my signature and go to the misc. tutorials. I have a tutorial on GetComponent that comes with a packet you can download and try out some exercises.

You access the script through the handle .

myHandle(button).value = new value.
