Hi,

I have a script to control the movement of an elevator. On this script I have a private var that controls the speed - elevSpeed.

I want to be able to control this variable using an Horizontal Slider defined on another script - therapistGUI.

How can I do this?

thanks,

I'll answer my own question because I was able to find the solution. I don't know if you prefer me to delete the question, but I think it can be useful for others.

To access a variable from another script we need to define it as a global variable:

static var elevSpeed

then to access from another script we just need to call the scriptName.globalVarName:

Elevator.elevSpeed

On this case I used the variable to control the speed of the elevator with an horizontal slider:

Elevator.elevSpeed = GUI.HorizontalSlider (Rect(25,185,100,25), Elevator.elevSpeed, 0.0, 10.0);

hope it helps other like me
