calling a variable from another method (in another file)

This is probably a very "noob" question...but I am attempting to call a variable from another C# file and am having difficulty. I will provide my code..

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.UI;
6.  
7.  
8.  
9. public class UserVitalStats : MonoBehaviour
10. {
11.     CharacterController charController;
12.     FPCharacterController playerController; //THIS IS WHERE I CANT GET IT TO WORK
13.  
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         charController = GetComponent < CharacterController> ();
17.         playerController = GetComponent<FPCharacterController>(); //ALSO WHERE I CANT GET IT TO WORK
18.     }
19.  

CALLING FROM

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. public class FPCharacterController : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     public Rigidbody rigidBody;
9.     public FPCharacterController playerController;
10.  
11.  void Start()
12.     {
13.         playerController = GetComponent<FPCharacterController>();
14.     }
15. }
16.  

I had other code involved but just used the necessary to shorten it...if I need to I can put the full code

 

What are you trying to do? Why do you have the FPCharacterController with a variable to an FPCharacterController?

If UserVitalStats is on the same GameObject as the FPCharacterController, then the GetComponent call will work as you have written.

 

Wow now I see where I went wrong haha. Cut and paste issues. Thanks for the extra set of eyes with the FP Character controller situation! I've been looking at code for hours
