basically im trying to input the actual playermovement script into that slot titled "player move script"

along with the ui game objects

[shy topaz]

this is the picture of the prefab script?

or no

[past phoenix]

the "Pistol Attack" script is on the pistol prefab

which is being instantiated by the weapon pickup

[shy topaz]

how are you trying to get the script?

the playermovement script

[past phoenix]

this is what im trying to figure out

been using getcomponent but not really sure how

[shy topaz]

im guessing the pistol script is a child of the player?

in a pistol

if thats the case then use getparentcomponent

i believe thats what is it called

[past phoenix]

pistol prefab is instantiated as a child of weapon slot

[shy topaz]

okay so what you can do is to get the parent of the pistol which is the weapon slot then get the script you want from the player from the weapon slot

        PROP = this.gameObject.transform.parent;

        SCRIPT = PROP.GetComponentInParent<somescript>;

this should work

thank you

@bitter hinge is gonna have to try it out cause i’m no longer on pc

[shy topaz]

okay 👍

[bitter hinge]

what are prop and script referring to?

[shy topaz]

ah sorry for the late response

well you wanted to get the player movement script so

the PROP is the pistols parent object. the SCRIPT is the playermovement script which comes from the PROP's parent which is the player

all you have to do is make a transform at the top of you script for PROP (you can name it whatever) and the component you are looking for at the top as well, so it would look something like this.

Public Transform PROP; //name prop to whatever
Public somescript SCRIPT; // name this whatever and change somescript to playermovement
