limber cairn
yeah i watched that video already it didnt really work
robust lichen
show code
general steps:
1.) your script has to get the component/script attached to another object
2.) once you have the component, you have to get it with .VariableName
limber cairn
ok give me a sec
robust lichen
make sure that .VariableName is public
limber cairn
make sure that `.VariableName` is `public`
👍

oky i will try
limber cairn
so `GetComponent<Portalpont>()`
and how do i get the variable
robust lichen
GetComponent<Portalpont>() will get the script, so now you have to add .pointadd to it
Portalpont theComponent = GetComponent<Portalpont>();
int theVariable = theComponent.pointadd;
and i put all of that in void start??
robust lichen
are you trying to keep the values in both scripts synced?
if you put it in the start it will copy the value once
robust lichen
theComponent.pointadd instead
robust lichen
what does the error say?
you also don't need the last one, just do theComponent.pointadd
limber cairn
Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

you also don't need the last one, just do `theComponent.pointadd`
what last one
robust lichen
Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be u...
it's erroring because you need to do something with the value, like +=
robust lichen
what last one
you already got the component through theComponent. it's stored there. you can just do theComponent.pointadd += point
