Access objects attributes from another script

I have a script (Script1) that is attached to all of my GameObjects.

This script has a public dropdown menu (Material) and I need to get this input from another script (Script2) when a collide with an object occurs. So, I need to access the information of the collided object, including the dropdown option (material) that have been selected from the user, from the Script1.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Script1: MonoBehaviour {
2.    public enum Material {
3.         First,
4.         Second,
5.         Third,
6.         Fourth
7.     }
8. public Material material;
9. }
10.  
11. public Script2: MonoBehaviour {
12.     private void OnParticleCollision(GameObject collided) {
13.         // Get collided object material
14.     }
15. }

 

code not tested, but this is the idea.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Script1: MonoBehaviour {
2.    public enum Material {
3.         First,
4.         Second,
5.         Third,
6.         Fourth
7.     }
8.  
9.     public Material material;
10. }
11. public class Script2: MonoBehaviour {
12.     private void OnParticleCollision(GameObject collided) {
13.         // Get collided object material
14.         Material matFromScript1 = collided.GetComponent<Script1>().material;
15.     }
16. }

 

Thanks for the reply

It works like a charm. Although the Material got me into some bugs because at first imported Unity.Material component

Thanks a lot!

 

The only problem I face, is when I call it multiple times, I get error:

Code (CSharp):

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

 

I Will need to see more of the code. What line is the error happening on?

 

I figured out the solution. thnx anyway!
