Unable to get player Money from Game Script

I have 3 game objects, Player, Main and Text.
Player and Main are independent game objects in the Hierarchy whereas Text is a sub game object of the Canvas Gameobject.

Player has Player.css script attached,
Main has Game.css script attached
Text has TextScript.css attached

scripts are as follows

Player Script

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Player
5. {
6.     public int Health{ get; set;}
7.     public int Money{ get; set;}
8. }

Game Script

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Game1 : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     private int money;
7.  
8.     void Start ()
9.     {
10.         Player player1 = new Player();
11.         player1.Money=50000;
12.     }
13.  
14. }
15.    

I am not sure what needs to go into the textScript in order to see the player Money

 

you need to store a variable within the Player script a private one int money.
you need to call it this way

Code (CSharp):

1. Player1.Money = 1000;

Code (CSharp):

1. int money = 0;
2. public int Money
3. {
4.     get
5.     {
6.         return money;
7.     }
8.     set
9.     {
10.         money = Value;
11.     }
12. }

in unity it works in compoentns so your script might not be accessable using Player player1 = new player();

Code (CSharp):

1. GameObject Player = GameObject.Find ("MainPlayer");
2.         YourScript yourScript = Player.GetComponent<YourScript>();
3.  
4.         int Number = yourScript.Money;

 

Not really. C# can do auto-implemented properties. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384054.aspx

This is also not nessecary, because the player script does not derive from MonoBehaviour, it is not really a "Unity component", so Player player = new Player(); should work fine.

Now, on to the problem at hand.

You say you have a Player object with the Player script attached, that seems impossible judging by your code, because (as mentioned) your Player script does not derive from MonoBehaviour. You should derive it and use the method Jmanpie provided to access it.

Or you should keep code as is, but then you cannot attach it to a gameobject, but only keep reference of the class in your code (this way it cant be directly connected to a gameobject, but you can still use the values in it)

 

Your "Player.cs" must inherit from MonoBehaviour (as Game.cs does). You can't add a script to a GameObject if the latter doesn't inherit from MonoBehaviour.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Player : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public int Health{ get; set;}
7.     public int Money{ get; set;}
8. }

Also, you can't use "new" on a Component (= something which inherits from MonoBehaviour). "new" is kind of call when your GameObject is instantiated. So you need to have a reference to your Player inside your Game :

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Game1 : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public Player myPlayer;
7.  
8.     void Start ()
9.     {
10.         player.Money=50000;
11.     }
12.  
13. }
14.    

From the inspector, you drag'n'drop your Player to the variable field "myPlayer".

Or, you can do as @Jmanpie shown you.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Game1 : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public Player myPlayer;
7.  
8.     void Awake() {
9.         GameObject goPlayer = GameObject.Find("PlayerGameObjectName");
10.  
11.         if (myPlayer != null) {
12.            myPlayer = goPlayer.GetComponent<Player>();
13.         }
14.     }
15.     void Start ()
16.     {
17.         myPlayer.Money=50000;
18.     }
19.  
20. }
21.    

 

Thanks for these replys. So say I want to keep player script as is, ie not derived from monobehavior. my game script now works. However how can I access the player money from another script? I am creating a new player in the game script, so from the text script I cant seem to access the player created in game script.

 

You need a reference to your instance or you can create a static variable (Google: Singleton)
