Can't reference an imported script in one of my own scripts or vice versa.

Questions & Answers
1

I have two scripts that I want to reference to each other. One is a script that I have made that controls the core of the game, while the other (the imported one) is the firstpersoncontroller script. All I want to do is set the lock cursor boolean to true or false, given if certain variables are certain values in the core script, but I can’t seem to reference the scripts to each other. I have been referencing scripts successfully before, but now Unity just can’t seem to understand the type of the scripts I’m trying to reference. Is there something I should know?

Edit:

Sure thing! I can only show so much, so I’ll try to compress these scripts a bit to show everything important.

Firstpersonscript:

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityStandardAssets.CrossPlatformInput;
using UnityStandardAssets.Utility;
using Random = UnityEngine.Random;

namespace UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson
{
    [RequireComponent(typeof (CharacterController))]
    [RequireComponent(typeof (AudioSource))]
    public class FirstPersonController : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] private bool m_IsWalking;
        [SerializeField] private float m_WalkSpeed;
        [SerializeField] private float m_RunSpeed;
        [SerializeField] [Range(0f, 1f)] private float m_RunstepLenghten;
		public float exhaustTime = 5;
		public bool isExhausted = false;
		public bool initiateCooldown = false;
		public float cooldownTime = 7;
		public float delayTime = 2;
        [SerializeField] private float m_JumpSpeed;
        [SerializeField] private float m_StickToGroundForce;
        [SerializeField] private float m_GravityMultiplier;
        [SerializeField] private MouseLook m_MouseLook;
        [SerializeField] private bool m_UseFovKick;
        [SerializeField] private FOVKick m_FovKick = new FOVKick();
        [SerializeField] private bool m_UseHeadBob;
        [SerializeField] private CurveControlledBob m_HeadBob = new CurveControlledBob();
        [SerializeField] private LerpControlledBob m_JumpBob = new LerpControlledBob();
        [SerializeField] private float m_StepInterval;
        [SerializeField] private AudioClip[] m_FootstepSounds;    // an array of footstep sounds that will be randomly selected from.
        [SerializeField] private AudioClip m_JumpSound;           // the sound played when character leaves the ground.
        [SerializeField] private AudioClip m_LandSound;           // the sound played when character touches back on ground.

        private Camera m_Camera;
        private bool m_Jump;
        private float m_YRotation;
        private Vector2 m_Input;
        private Vector3 m_MoveDir = Vector3.zero;
        private CharacterController m_CharacterController;
        private CollisionFlags m_CollisionFlags;
        private bool m_PreviouslyGrounded;
        private Vector3 m_OriginalCameraPosition;
        private float m_StepCycle;
        private float m_NextStep;
        private bool m_Jumping;
        private AudioSource m_AudioSource;

Core script:

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

public class PlayerActivate : MonoBehaviour

I’m only showing you a little from the core script, because I feel the problem is originating from the first person script, as the core script hasn’t given me problems in the past until I needed to reference this new script.

On your core script, you can declare the FirstPersonController field without error?
Because could be the namespace of the other script missing on the core.
using UnityStandardAssets.Characters.FirstPerson;
