Can You Access Other Scripts In Another Scene Using Tags

Unity Engine
1

Hi I am making a game (of course) and i have the idea to have a system to switch characters in the main menu and play with it in the game and their 2 separate scenes. i made two separate scripts one for the Main Menu:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class PlayerShips : MonoBehaviour {

    public bool Ship1Equiped;
    public bool Ship2Equiped;
    public bool NoShipsEquiped;
    private ActivateShips TheShips;
    //public Text StopPlayer;
    public Text Unequipandequipbutton;

    void Start()
    {
        GameObject TheShipsObject = GameObject.FindWithTag("ShipManager");
        if (TheShipsObject != null)
        {
            TheShips = TheShipsObject.GetComponent<ActivateShips>();
        }
        if (TheShips == null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Cannot find 'ActivateShips' script");
        }
    }
   
    public void Ship1 ()
    {
        if (Ship1Equiped == true)
        {
          Unequipandequipbutton.text = "Unequip";
          TheShips.Shipone.SetActive(true);
          TheShips.Shiptwo.SetActive(false);
            Debug.Log ("Ship1 Equiped");
        }


    }

    public void Ship2()
    {
        if(Ship2Equiped == true)
        {
            Unequipandequipbutton.text = "Equip";
            TheShips.Shipone.SetActive(false);
            TheShips.Shiptwo.SetActive(true);
        }
    }

    /*public void NoShips()
    {
        if (Ship1Equiped = Ship2Equiped == false)
        {
            StopFromPlayingGame();
        }
    }

    //public void StopFromPlayingGame()
    {
        StopPlayer.text = "!!Please Select A Ship!!";
    }*/

    public void Equiped1()
    {
        Ship1Equiped = (true);
    }

    public void Equiped2()
    {
        Ship2Equiped = (true);
    }

    public void UnequipButtonShip1()
    {
        Ship1Equiped = (false);
    }

    public void UnequipButtonShip2()
    {
        Ship2Equiped = (false);
    }

   


}

//I HAVE NEVER TYPED THE WORD SHIP SO MANY THIS MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE

(I know the code is noobish b__ut i’m still learning and had no other way around that i knew of)__
and other for the Game scene:
```csharp
__using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ActivateShips : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject Shipone;
public GameObject Shiptwo;


void Start () {

}


void Update () {

}

}__
```

then when i run it and test it it says “Cannot find ‘ActivateShips’ script” so is there any way to communicate between them if i cant use the tags
Thanks in Advance
Also is there and was to fix this
```csharp
__/*public void NoShips()
{
if (Ship1Equiped = Ship2Equiped == false)
{
StopFromPlayingGame();
}
}

//public void StopFromPlayingGame()
{
    StopPlayer.text = "!!Please Select A Ship!!";
}*/__

```
and make the script shorter.

Sorry, I can’t make out what you’re trying to do.

If you just want to launch a different scene from your main menu, you do that with Application.LoadLevel.

3

No, you can’t. You’ll have to load the scene first (as described by Joe above).

4

You can access value from other scenes by either using PlayerPrefs.Set(Int,Float,String) which is the preferred way, or by using static variables

5

As pointed out it’s not possible. You can only access stuff that exists in memory. Scenes don’t exist before they are loaded or after a new one is loaded. Check out this tutorial for a bunch if different ways to indirectly change other scenes.
