✅ beginner help with unity
Deal: I am trying to take my health float value from a script that is "not" in the scene (just a script) and pass it the child of a Player Gameobject. I have tried to use GetComponent and some basic stuff but i dont know why its not working. I can use GetComponent from my Player object and get the health float but not from the chiöd script.
Any help or advice appreciated!

transform.GetChild(0).gameObject.GetComponent<...>();
this reaches into the hierarchy and gets the component from the first child
or if you need the one on the parent
transform.parent.gameObject.blahnot working how?

thanks i will test it now
Sorry im not sure. there are no error lines but when I run the script I can also tell that there is nothing coming from the lines that I wrote
nothing pops up in the log window?
atleast try sharing ur code so we can have some idea
sorry just got home
you can see here the HealthBars gameObject is a child of "Player"
and DamageableCharacter.cs is just a script, not attached to any gameObject (though referenced) ..
like this
Not sure if that affects anything though
