I know this question has been asked a million times, but I just can’t get my script to work. I’m able to access the varialbe, but it doesn’t change like it’s supposed to.

When you access non-private variables from other scripts, you must follow the following formula:

ObjectName.GetCompontent(ScriptName).VariableName

If the variable is in a script which is attached to the same object as the script which you are using, use this:

GetComponent(ScriptName).VariableName

If the variable refers to an object, you can chain formulas:

ObjectName.GetComponent(ScriptName).VariableNameSetAsObject.GetComponent(ScriptName).VariableName

This only works if the variable is not private. You must change the variable to not be private if it currently is.
