    I have a nested class with a list. I can't seem to access it. What am I doing wrong?! HELP! I've been stuck for ages!

    Code (CSharp):
    1. public class GameControll : MonoBehaviour
    2. {
    3.  
    4. [System.Serializable]
    5. public class ListClas
    6.    {
    7.     private GameObject player;
    8.     public int scoreList;
    9.     public bool playerDead;
    10.     public ListClas(GameObject player, int scoreList, bool playerDead)
    11.     {
    12.         this.player = player;
    13.         this.scoreList = scoreList;
    14.         this.playerDead = playerDead;
    15.     }
    16.    public List<ListClas> playerList = new List<ListClas>();
    17.    }
    18.  
    19. }
    I've tried to access it from a different script like this

    Code (CSharp):
    1.   private GameControll GameController;
    2.     private List<GameControll> playerList;
    3.  
    4.   void OnEnable()
    5.     {
    6.       GameController = FindObjectOfType<GameControll>();
    7.       playerList = GameController.playerList;
    8.        playerList.Add(new GameControll(gameObject, score, playerDead));
    9.        playerList.Add(new GameControll(gameObject, 5, playerDead));
    10.        playerList.Add(new GameControll(gameObject, 6, playerDead));
    11.     }
    But get this error:
    'GameControll' does not contain a definition for 'playerList' and no accessible extension method 'playerList' accepting a first argument of type 'GameControll' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [Assembly-CSharp]

    In your top snippet, line 16 is within the inner nested class.

    I don't think you intend this.
