HELP! Adding values to variables in another script

Hello. I am having a lot of trouble with scripting. I want to add values to a variable in a script when a function is activated in another script.

This is the script that has the function that is supposed to add values to a variable in another script when it's function is used:

var papercount = 0;

function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider)
{
Destroy(other.gameObject);
papercount = papercount + 1;
Otherscriptname.MoveSpeed = MoveSpeed + 2
}

This is the script with the variable that we want to add a value to everytime the function from the other script is used:

var Player : Transform;
var MoveSpeed = 4;
var MaxDist = 10;
var MinDist = 5;



function Start ()
{

}

function Update ()
{
transform.LookAt(Player);

if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) >= MinDist){

transform.position += transform.forward*MoveSpeed*Time.deltaTime;



if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) <= MaxDist)
{
//Here Call any function U want Like Shoot at here or something
}

}
}

The second script is originally from someone else that I copy and pasted, and it works nicely without the script with the function. Please help me! I don't know much about coding!

 

try having a look at http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.GetComponent.html .. if both scripts are on the same object, then you'd probably would write something like ..

GetComponent(Otherscriptname).MoveSpeed = MoveSpeed + 2

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH! The scripts are actually on two different objects, but it works by using the GameObject.GetComponent command! Thanks again! You really helped me out! I spent LOADS of time trying to figure it out, and FINALLY I can continue to progress on my game!

 

I have another problem with GUI Text. I'm trying to change a GUI Text using a script from another object whenever the function is used.

This is the script that is trying to change the GUI Text:

Code (JavaScript):

1. var papercount = 0;
2.  
3. function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider)
4. {
5.     Destroy(other.gameObject);
6.     papercount = papercount + 1;
7.     GameObject.Find("GUI Text").GetComponent(GUIText).Text = "Papers Collected: " + papercount;
8.     GameObject.Find("body").GetComponent(Enemy_AIChase).MoveSpeed = GameObject.Find("body").GetComponent(Enemy_AIChase).MoveSpeed + 1;
9. }

Please help!

 

On a side note, use code tags. It makes helping you out easier. Just put the text "code" inside of brackets before your code and [/code] after to get it to look like this

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. This is some code
3.  

 

Thanks for the tip!
