Problems with accessing a script in another script

So I'm using a similar technique with displaying score in one scene in comparison to my previous scene.

My first scene (attached to the score text gameobject):

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System;
5.  
6. public class ScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     // The player's current weight.
9.     public static float currentweight;      
10.     // Reference to the Text component.
11.     Text text;                              
12.  
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.         // Set up the reference.
16.         text = GetComponent <Text> ();
17.  
18.         // Reset the score.
19.         currentweight = 0;
20.     }
21.  
22.     void Update()
23.     {
24.         // Set the displayed text to be the word "Weight" followed by the currentweight value.
25.         if (currentweight == 0)
26.         {
27.             text.text = "Weight: 0 kg";
28.         }
29.         else
30.         {
31.             text.text = string.Format("Weight: {0:#0.0} kg", currentweight);
32.         }
33.     }
34. }

My second scene (attached to the score text gameobject):

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System;
5.  
6. public class AppleScoreManager : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     // The player's current weight.
9.     public static int finalapplevalue;
10.     // Reference to the Text component.
11.     Text text;
12.  
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.         // Set up the reference.
16.         text = GetComponent <Text> ();
17.  
18.         // Reset the score.
19.         applevalue = 0;
20.     }
21.  
22.     void Update()
23.     {
24.         text.text = string.Format("That Apple is Number {0:#0}", finalapplevalue);
25.     }
26. }

This script is attached to the player in the second scene:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class CollectingApples : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public static int applevalue;
8.  
9.     bool ismultiple2;
10.     bool ismultiple3;
11.     bool ismultiple4;
12.     bool ismultiple5;
13.     bool ismultiple6;
14.  
15.     GameObject apple1;
16.     GameObject apple2;
17.     GameObject apple3;
18.     GameObject player;
19.  
20.     // Use this for initialization
21.     void Start()
22.     {
23.         apple1 = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("apple1");
24.         apple2 = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("apple2");
25.         apple3 = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("apple3");
26.         player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
27.     }
28.  
29.     // Update is called once per frame
30.     void Update()
31.     {
32.     }
33.  
34.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
35.     {
36.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "apple1")
37.         {
38.             applevalue = 1;
39.             AppleScoreManager.finalapplevalue = applevalue;
40.             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
41.         }
42.  
43.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "apple2")
44.         {
45.             applevalue = 2;
46.             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
47.         }
48.  
49.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "apple3")
50.         {
51.             applevalue = 3;
52.             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
53.         }
54.     }
55. }

Now I'm getting this error and I don't know why? (Line 39)

The name of my script is... AppleScoreManager

 

I even tried this in the start function:

Code (CSharp):

1. AppleScoreManager AppleScoreManager = player.GetComponent<AppleScoreManager>();

Although I find it pointless to change my code when I've got the exact same thing working in my previous scene
CONFUSED :/

 

Try changing the name of the variable so that it doesn't match the name of the class.

 

Still does not work

 

You're not declaring the variable 'AppleScoreManager' anywhere, so it doesn't exist.

 

I'm so confused, I didn't have to declare any script as a variable previously.
If I wanted to access a variable I would just do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. ScoreManager.currentscore += score;

Why wouldn't that work now?


Like so here in my other scene:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
2.     {
3.         // If the entering collider is a book...
4.         if (other.gameObject.tag == "book" && Input.GetKey("e"))
5.         {
6.             itemweight = 1.2f;
7.             ScoreManager.currentweight += itemweight;
8.             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);

 

Still stuck on this problem
Help is really appreciated.

 

You're missing the context. You have to declare a variable of a type (AppleScoreManager int this situation) to be able to use it in the current scope.

I don't want to sound rude, but this is basic programming stuff, so maybe you need to follow a tutorial about classes, objects, declaring them and creating references.

 

I know exactly what your saying kmgr, and that was just an honest error.
However as you can see in my previous ObjectPickup script I did not reference the ScoreManager script in my ObjectPickup script and I was able to use it in my ObjectPickup script.

EDIT: I managed to find a solution Thanks for the help.
