Can't update a public Variable in another script..

Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I’m stuck at something that in my opinion should work. But hey, would’t life be too easy that way.

I want to update a variable when a character dies, and display this on screen. I currently have this in my EnemiesKilled script:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class EnemiesKilled : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text text;
    public int KilledEnemies = 0;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {
        text = text.GetComponent<Text>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        text.text = "Killed: " + KilledEnemies;
        if (KilledEnemies > 50)
        {
            Time.timeScale = 0f;
            //insert enemy killed penalty
        }
    }

}

And I have this in my other script:

public class EnemyScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int EnemyHealth = 10;
    public EnemiesKilled enemiesKilled;

    void DeductPoints(int DamageAmount)
    {
        EnemyHealth -= DamageAmount;
    }

    void Start()
    {
        enemiesKilled = enemiesKilled.GetComponent<EnemiesKilled>();
    }

    void Update()
    {

        if (EnemyHealth <= 0)
        {
            enemiesKilled.KilledEnemies++;
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
}

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my code. In advance thanks! Also other tips would be really helpfull! My enemies won’t destroy anymore because of this part enemiesKilled.KilledEnemies++;

@goldenking95 use FindObjectOfType to get the enemies killed script

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

public class EnemiesKilled : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text text;
    public int killedEnemies;

	void Start ()
    {
        text = GetComponent<Text>();
	}
	
	void Update ()
    {
	    if(killedEnemies > 50)
        {
            Time.timeScale = 0f;
        }
	}
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class EnemyScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int enemyHealth = 10;
    public EnemiesKilled enemiesKilled;

	void Start ()
    {
        enemiesKilled = FindObjectOfType<EnemiesKilled>();
	}

    public void DeductHealth(int damage)
    {
        enemyHealth -= damage;
    }

	void Update ()
    {
	    if(enemyHealth <= 0)
        {
            enemiesKilled.killedEnemies += 1;
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
	}
}
