How to get an variable for another script at a random prefab

Hi there guys! Sorry, my english is very bad, but i think you can understand this:

I am making an rpg like diablo, and i am configuring the enemies, but i have and strange problem here
i have the player, that uses various types of skills. When the player use the skill, the skill travels to the enemy and hits him. But lets say that the fire magic has "10" points of damage, and the frost have "50" points of damage. When the magic hits the enemy, the collision script needs to find the magic by a tag, to identify the magic. But the thing is, that if i have 200 diferent skills, i will need to create 200 tags? is there any way to create only one tag like "PlayerSkill", and in each skill prefab ill put a script with a static var with the "damage" of the spell, and when the skill hits the enemy, the "collision object" of the enemy script will get that specif variable? so if i have 200 skills with an variable, or property called "damage", every time something hits that skill prefab , it will find the variable value and use it?

Sorry if im not clear enougth, ill try to explain better if you need! Thanks a lot !

 

"the collision script needs to find the magic by a tag, to identify the magic. "

This is not the "correct" way of doing this. You should make a magic class of which other spells inherent. That way all the objects are of the same type and you can still make them all do different things (which you specify within the respective classes).

 

Thats the point, i cant figure out how to do this. The "magic" class structure need to be like what? Im new to c# scripting.

 

Classes and inheritance are more advanced topics. If you are new to scripting, I would suggest doing some tutorials until you get to these topics and then try to implement them.

 

Ok , thanks a lot! i found it at the unity scripting tutorials, i think now i can make my way through it!

 

Inheritance and polymorphism are kind of a big deal in OOP. I'd look into both of those things Best of luck to you!
