How to access a value / float form another script?

I am trying to make a game, and I have a problem. I have 2 scripts with 2 separate randomizers and of course when I try to use something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.         random = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0f, 5f);
2.         if (random > 0f & random < 1f)
3.         {
4.             random = 0f;
5.             Card1 = 1;
6.         }
7.         if (random > 1f & random < 2f)
8.         {
9.             random = 0f;
10.             Card2 = 1;
11.         }
12.         if (random > 2f & random < 3f)
13.         {
14.             random = 0f;
15.             Card3 = 1;
16.         }
17.         if (random > 3f & random < 4f)
18.         {
19.             random = 0f;
20.             Card4 = 1;
21.         }
22.         if (random > 4f & random < 5f)
23.         {
24.             random = 0f;
25.             Card5 = 1;
26.         }

In both script, it doesn't come out the same.

Does anyone know how to copy my value called "random", to another script?
Thanks!

Thanks again!

 

That hurts my eyes to look at. Get some Lists and Arrays in there. As for the value just do FindObjectOfType<MouseDetectObject>().value = random;

 

I am new to coding, I just started 1-2 weeks ago. Can you please tell me what Lists and Arrays are, and maybe how to use them? The "tutorials" aren't really helping, Thanks!

 

Ps, just linking a good source I can learn from should also be enough , Thanks again.

 

If you've just started coding for the first time 1 or 2 weeks ago, personally I'd stick to some standard C# tutorials for the time being before diving in with Unity. That way you can learn all the fundamentals of classes, lists, arrays, enums, LinQ, etc, before trying to create Unity scripts.

(Search on Youtube for "Bob Tabor C#" - there's a brilliant 8hr course that covers a whole bunch of vital fundamentals that are an essential precursor to Unity development)

 

Thanks!
