Resolved How Do I Get Variable Values From Another Script?

I have two scripts. One is GameManager.cs and the other is vThirdPersonController.cs. The vThirdPersonController.cs script is part of the free Invector 3rd Person Controller asset from the asset store, but I have been modifying it as I go. In my GameManager script, I'm trying to reference the "goalCompleted" variable in controller script and keep getting the error "The name 'vThirdPersonController' does not exist in the current context". What am I doing wrong here?

GameManager.cs - Line 15 is where I referenced it.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     private float elapsedTime = 0;
10.     private bool isRunning = false;
11.     private bool isFinished = false;
12.     public Text timerText;
13.     public GameObject goal;
14.     public GameObject player;
15.     bool goalReached = vThirdPersonController.goalCompleted;
16.  
17.     // Start is called before the first frame update
18.     void Start()
19.     {
20.         isRunning = true;
21.         isFinished = false;
22.         elapsedTime = 0;
23.        
24.     }
25.  
26.     // Update is called once per frame
27.     void Update()
28.     {
29.         // Add time to the clock if the game is running
30.         if (isRunning)
31.         {
32.             elapsedTime = elapsedTime + Time.deltaTime;
33.             timerText.text = elapsedTime.ToString();
34.            
35.         } else if (goalReached == true)
36.         {
37.             Debug.Log("Level Complete. Time was: " + elapsedTime.ToString());
38.         }
39.        
40.     }
41.  
42.     private void StartGame()
43.     {
44.         elapsedTime = 0;
45.         isRunning = true;
46.         isFinished = false;
47.     }
48.  
49.     public void FinishedGame()
50.     {
51.        
52.     }
53.  
54.    
55. }
56.

It's in a namespace, so you just need

using Invector.vCharacterController;

at the top of your script.

Mind you, it's value won't update as the

goalCompleted

value changes, so there's no point of assigning it to a field in your manager script. You're better off just reading the static value whenever you need it.

 

I can't believe the answer was that easy. lol - Makes me embarrassed to say how long I was trying to figure it out. Apparently I have to do some research on Namespaces because I originally had tried adding the class from the controller script to the manager script. So I was close... but not really. Also thank you for pointing out the part about the static value, definitely a good call.
