Accessing script information using GetComponent

Unity Engine
1

I was wondering if it is possible to access public fields from a script component? For example in my game I’ve got a super simple class with the following field and method:

public string keyCode;

public string returnKey()
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty (keyCode))
        return "";
    else
        return keyCode;
}

Is it possible using scripting to either access the field keyCode or call the returnKey method? I have this script attached to a GameObject. If possible I’m thinking along the lines of:

string result = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("LeftBullet")[0].GetComponent<MonoScript>().returnKey();

(Obviously that’s not going to work since it won’t make it past the compiler but you get the idea :slight_smile: ).

Figured it out, just needed to replace the MonoScript with what my class was called!

BulletKeyData temp = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("LeftBullet")[0].GetComponent<BulletKeyData>();
string keyResult = temp.returnKey();
