✅ Variable access help :(

I have an object named player and I'm trying to access a variable, an int, called speed and I've been told to use "GetComponent" although when I use it I'm a tad bit confused on how to access the variable? "speed = player.GetComponent<speed>();" is what I tried which didn't work.

speed is not a component, it is a variable / field.

oh so I put the script I'm trying to access in the <>

Buddy•5mo ago

Components are classes that inherits MonoBehavior You can access speed directly. Since it lives within the same class

oh shoot the speed in phones isn't what I'mt rying to access

trying to access this speed which is in basic movement in a seperate script

Buddy•5mo ago

I see. Then you use GetComponent<BasicMovement>() It is the name of the class / component

ah ok that worked but then how do I get access to the individual variables?

Buddy•5mo ago

Then you can access speed from there

GregTheEggOP•5mo ago

so it's entirely connected now? or atleast the publics are?

Buddy•5mo ago

BasicMovement movement;

void Start()
{
     movement = GetComponent<BasicMovement>();
}

BasicMovement movement;

void Start()
{
     movement = GetComponent<BasicMovement>();
}

And then you can access speed by doing movement.speed

If it lives on the same object in the hierarchy
