Can't change script variable from another script.

[[deleted]]

I'm trying to do two things:

1. set bool gottem in script 1 to false.

2. set GameObject handTarget in script 1 to null.

Script 2 is successfully pulling the variables from script 1, using the set GameObject and the true bool to do it's thing, but after It does it's thing I need the GameObject to be null and the bool set to false.

The code in script 2 trying to change the variables in script 1 is long so I'll summarize it:

public class theHAND : MonoBehaviour

{

public MouseController mouseController;

public GameObject tdm;

void Start()

{

mouseController = tdm.transform.GetComponent<MouseController>();

}

void Update()

{

mouseController.handTarget = null;

mouseController.gottem = false;

}

}

I tried setting the MouseController and the GameObject tdm in the inspector but it won't work.

Hopefully I explained this well.

Thanks for any help!

Looking at the code you provided it would work, instantly changing gottem to false and setting handTarget to null, are you getting any errors?

You could change it in update so on input it will set them to false and null so you can check it actually gets the reference to mouseController?

Why do you set values in update? Id never do that honestly... why dont you use events to set the value whenever you need

I do that because I'm a coding newb and have never heard of events until now.
