accessing instance of a script

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

I wrote the following script to store the initial position of few gameobjects. The script is attached to each gameobject :

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ProprietePieces : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static Vector3 PositionInitialePiece;
   
    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        PositionInitialePiece = gameObject.transform.position;
    }
}

My problem is that I do not succeed to access the “PositionInitialePiece” variable from another script. Here is what I use :

 ProprietePieces ScriptProprietePieces = gameObject.GetComponent<ProprietePieces>();
    
 Debug.Log(ScriptProprietePieces.PositionInitialePiece);

I get an error message saying that “Member ProprietePieces.PositionInitialePiece is not reachable with an instance reference, use a type name”

I do not understand what is the problem, and hope someone could help me.

Your positioninitialepiece is a static variable.

In C# you can’t access a static member as if it were a regular instance of a class. This isn’t the case in Java I believe, which may be what you’re familiar with I’m guessing.

Simply drop the static in your ProprietePieces PositionInitialePiece variable and your code should be fine.
