Question Cannot access static variable of another script.

Hello,

Im trying to make currncy.

there is a script that check if "we have enough money"

of courst CurretTurretToBuild , and cost is static variables.
actually what happends , that the program ignoring
" if (MoneyText.Money >= Turret.cost)"

Code (CSharp):

1.  void OnMouseDown ()
2.     {
3.         if (MoneyText.Money >= Turret.cost)
4.         {
5.             BuildManager.CurrentTurretToBuild = TurretToBuild;
6.         }
7.         else
8.         {
9.             Debug.Log("Not Enough Money");
10.         }
11.            
12.        
13.     }

This is the script of the node

Code (CSharp):

1.  void OnMouseDown()
2.     {
3.  
4.         if (currentTurretFound != null)
5.         {
6.             Debug.Log("Cannot Build There");
7.         }
8.         else
9.         {
10.            
11.        
12.             currentTurretFound = BuildManager.CurrentTurretToBuild;
13.             MoneyText.Money -= Turret.cost;
14.             BuildTurret = (GameObject)Instantiate(currentTurretFound, transform.position, transform.rotation);
15.          
16.        
17.         }
18.     }

 

i would imagine you're confusing what static does, but it's hard to tell without all the code.

If you make Turret.cost a static variable, that means that every single turret will cost that much, not each instance or each type of turret but every single one. There can only be one value for each class. You're probably trying to set different values for each turret and it's only keeping the last value and hence you think the Turret.cost is broken.

 

Hi,

I have only 1 turret .. this is why im still confused.

 

Can we get the full classes of the MoneyText and Turret classes? I don't think there's enough here to really tell what's going wrong.

 

yep maybe your money is not public, would need to see your moneytext script
