Resolved Access Non MonoBehavior via MonoBehavior?

Hi there,
I have a third-party asset. Its components are not derived from Monobehavior, but instead from another. The thing is, I want to access these scripts but from MonoBehavior.
How can I do this?

 

Really depends on the context. But, for example, if they were regular C# classes, you'd just declare one in the body of your monobehaviour class and use that.

More context is needed though to give a specific answer.

 

Ok,
so I have a third party asset. Its components, allow me to manipulate transforms positions, using gears and joints extra. It is very handy, on its own.

However, I want to be able to access particular public variables in one of these scripts, so I can manipulate the values, more easily.

This is what a script looks like...

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5.  
6.  
7. [ExecuteInEditMode]
8. public class IKAxis : IKBase{
9. public float someFloat;
10. }
11.  

I want to be able to access that someFloat. But since it is in IKBase, I can not.

How can I?
Thanks

 

I think you have a misunderstanding about inheritance here? IKAxis might inherit from IKBase, but IKBase probably inherits from monobehaviour (or another that, eventually, inherits from monobehaviour).

So it's just a component, which you can reference via the inspector.

 

Also, what exactly do you mean by this? If the variable is public, you can access it via script outside of the class. Did you try simply changing the value through code?

 

Ok....
So it (Visual Studio) was not seeing the class, why I wrote... but after shutting it down and restarting, it does see it, so problem solved.

Thanks!
