Changing property value

Questions & Answers

Hello, I’m working on a small game - it’s my first, and I’m having problem with this.
I’m trying to use properties in a class as a storage for how many HP etc. a player base has. However when I change the property from one script, it doesn’t affect any other the values of other scripts that use the same property.

This is the class with the properties:

public class BaseStats {

    public int baseHealth = 1000;


    public int BaseHealth
    {
        get
        {
            return baseHealth;
        }
        set
        {
            baseHealth = value;
        }
    }

This is a script on an enemy that shoud decrease the value on collision

public class OnHit : MonoBehaviour {
 
    BaseStats baseStats = new BaseStats();

	void OnCollisionEnter(Collision col)
    {

        if (col.gameObject.tag == "Base")
        {
            baseStats.BaseHealth -= 100;
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
}

And this is a script on a Text object that should display current HP

public class ShowHealth : MonoBehaviour {
    
    public BaseStats baseStats = new BaseStats();
    Text txt;

    void Start ()
    {
        txt = GetComponent<Text>();
    }
	
	void Update ()
    {
        txt.text =  baseStats.BaseHealth.ToString();
    }
}

It displays the default value, which is 1000, but it doesn’t change after the enemy collides with base.
What am I doing wrong?

They both have a unique instance of BaseStats each.

ShowHealth.baseStats references one instance of BaseStats

OnHit.baseStats references another instance of BaseStats

Both are assigned a new BaseStats.

You want them both to reference the same instance of BaseStats if you want to share the data. Anyway, this has nothing at all to do with properties. Either get the BaseStats from the other script or create a component that both use instead.
