Calling a function from another Script not working... HELP!?

Unity Engine
1

So i have a pretty simple situation that for reason seems to not be working in C#.

GameObjectA with ScriptA attached, GameObjectB with ScriptB attached. The following SHOULD work right? Or am i missing something (which obviously i am, otherwise it would just work).

Been banging my head all weekend and i cant figure out why this isn’t working via a script call, but does work if i assign the function to a button

Help please??

ScriptA:

public GameObject GameObjectB; //Where the GameObjectB has been assigned in the Editor

void Start()
{
    doSomethingA();
}

public void doSomethingA()
{
    ScriptB foo = GameObjectB.GetComponent<ScriptB>();
    foo.PrintSomething();
}

ScriptB:

public GameObject GameObjectA; //Where the GameObjectA has been assigned in the Editor

public void PrintSomething()
{
    Debug.Log("This Works!");
}

Your code seems to be correct.

Is there a error when executing?

No, no error, it just wont execute the function for some reason.

I actually found this code example that seems to work in ScriptA, is there a reason that message passing like this would be programmatically correct or cause issues?

GameObjectB.gameObject.SendMessage("PrintSomething");

You above code worked just fine for my self.

For ScriptA you can also do this.

public void doSomethingA(){
    GameObjectB.GetComponent<ScriptB>().PrintSomething();
}

This way your not declaring a var. Unless you really need it.

ScriptA

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScriptA : MonoBehaviour {
	
	public GameObject GameObjectB;

	void Start () {
	doSomethingA();
	}
	
	public void doSomethingA(){
	    GameObjectB.GetComponent<ScriptB>().PrintSomething();
	}
}

Script B

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ScriptB : MonoBehaviour {

	public void PrintSomething(){
    	Debug.Log("This Works!");
	}
}
