New in Unity (and C#). How to get variable from another script?

I'm trying to get a variable from another script then if that variable is bigger than X, the variable will increase with 10.

I have a script called Bird, this script has 3 variables (
public float speed = 2;
public float force = 300;
public float counter = 0; )

Speed is the actual speed of the player, and counter will increase everytime players pressed Space key.

I have tried to make another script myself but I failed so bad...
I need this kind of script to call more variables from another scripts, but for now I tried to make this.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class CounterCall : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     // Use this for initialization
7.     void Start () {
8.  
9.         GameObject.Find ("Bird").GetComponent<Bird> ();
10.    
11.         if (Bird.counter == 5) {
12.  
13.             speed =+ 10;
14.  
15.         }
16.  
17.     }
18.    
19.     // Update is called once per frame
20.     void Update () {
21.    
22.  
23.  
24.     }
25. }
26.  

I wanted to make the player (Bird script) to increase the speed with 10 when "counter" variable is 5.
But seems that I don't know how to use conditionals in Unity or using variable from another script..

Can someone help me please?

(and yes , I know that i should learn C# better, but that's why I'm also asking others for help)

 

you could make it easier by adding a public gameobject, dragging the "bird" gameobject into it, then getting the variables like so,

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3.  
4. public class CouncerCallt : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     public GameObject bird; // put the gameobject which has the bird script on this.
8.     // Use this for initialization
9.     void Start()
10.     {
11.  
12.     }
13.  
14.     // Update is called once per frame
15.     void Update()
16.     {
17.         if (bird.GetComponent<Bird>().counter == 5)
18.         {
19.             bird.GetComponent<Bird>().speed = 10.0f;
20.         }
21.     }
22. }
23.  

 

Or just do "public Bird birdScript" and drag the gameobject in. It will automatically get the component.

 

Okay, I can do that. But is the rest of the code okay? I don't think it will work

(Edit: The script works, but the speed in game won't increase. (the speed in Inspector is increased though...)

 

you've not shared the code which uses speed... so *shrugs*

 

I am trying to make a script visible when counter is 50, but seems like I can't get it...

TheScript is like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.     public Bird bird;
2.     public VisualEffect visualEffect;
3.  
4.     void Start()
5.     {
6.  
7.     }
8.  
9.     // Update is called once per frame
10.     void Update()
11.     {
12.         if (bird.GetComponent<Bird>().counter == 50)
13.         {
14.             visualEffect.GetComponent<VisualEffect>().enabled = true;
15.         }
16.     }

The visual effect script is in another folder that the rest of scripts, but it's still in Assets folder.
Also, I can't get it where to put the script name, or if i dragNdrop it, it still can't get accesed.
(Bird script works though)

 

You need to actually have the VisualEffect script on a GameObject in the scene, and enable that instance of the script.

Right now, you're trying to make an asset that's sitting in a folder turn on. That's not going to do very much!

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class test : MonoBehaviour {
6.     scriptname scriptname;
7.     // Use this for initialization
8.     void Start () {
9.         scriptname = GameObject.Find("item with script atacht").GetComponent<scriptname>();
10.     }
11.  
12.     // Update is called once per frame
13.     void Update () {
14.         scriptname.tosomething;
15.     }
16. }
