Adjust variable in inactive script

Can you change a variable of a script that is not in the scene or hierarchy, from another script? I can do this easily when the two scripts are in the scene or hierarchy, but how can I change a variable of a script that is just in my assets? If it is not possible I have a workaround ready, but I am very curious if this is possible?

Thank you!

 

One way would be by first making the var static, then changing it using an internal static function. For example :

Code (CSharp):

1. public static int myVariable;
2.  
3. internal static void ChangeMyVariable(int newValue)
4. {
5.    myVariable = newValue;
6. }

You could access the variable by :

Code (CSharp):

1. yourInt = ClassName.myVariable;

Or change it by:

Code (CSharp):

1. ClassName.ChangeMyVariable(100);

 

Hey thanks for the quick response. Is this possible with UnityScript?

 

I haven't tried, but most probably.

 

Alright I'll try and figure something out, thanks for your feedback I appreciate it.
