How can I access a variable(bool) in script B from script A, if script A is in a prefab, and script B is not.
I just need a general example.

//This is Script A attached to a prefab
    void Update(){
    if (whatever == true) {
    //Blabla
    		}
    	}
    
    
    
    //This is Script B attached to a gameObject in Scene
    public bool whatever;
    public void OnGUI(){
    if(Gui.Button(new Rect(1,3,3,7))){
    	whatever=true;
    	}
    }

I have tried using the inspector but it isnt possible because A is attached to a prefab. So I go like:

//This is Script A attached to a prefab
void Update(){
if (ScriptB.whatever == true) {
//Blabla
		}
	}



//This is Script B attached to a gameObject in Scene
public bool whatever;
public void OnGUI(){
if(Gui.Button(new Rect(1,3,3,7))){
	whatever=true;
	}
}

But then the compiler yells: “An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property ScriptB.whatever”
and I try to change it to static bool whatever;

and the compiler goes: “Bro, I cannot access that variable due to its protection level”

I have tried a lot of different things but none of them have worked, What do!?!?

Your question is backwards. Since ‘whatever’ is declared in ScriptB, you are trying to have Script A access ‘whatever’ in Script B. So assuming ScriptA is the prefab, you can do this. At the top of the file put:

private ScriptB scriptB;  // Change to whatever the script is named

Then in Start():

void Start() {
    scriptB = GameObject.Find("GONameForScriptB").GetComponent<ScriptB>();
    // The Find() uses the name of the game object with ScriptB.
}

Then in Update() you would do:

if (scriptB.whatever) {
    //Do something
}

As the code stands now, you need to be sure the named game object with ScriptB exists since you will get a null reference exception from this code if it does not.

or you may declare that bool, at begining of the class

    //Your Class ScriptA
    public class Script : MonoBehaviour{
        // declare variables
     public bool Whatever;
     public int NumberOfTheBeast=666;
    
       void Start(){}

     void Update(){

   //do Something
}
}

and then…

//script B

  public class blabla: monobehaviour{

  public/private bool scriptABool;
  public/private Gameobject/Object scriptAObject;

void Start(){

 scriptABool=scriptAObject.GetComponent<scriptA>().whatever;

if (scriptABool==true)
{
   /Do Stuff:D

}
}
}
