Changing variable of another script under #pragma strict

[anon84960534]

I am having many problems trying to change variables on script components on other objects under pragma strict. this is a script that works on an android tablet i want to be abel to change the settings on the ‘DragOrbit.cs’ script attached to the main camera.

var camOverview: GameObject;   // main camera assigned to this variable

if(GUI.Button(Rect(10,10,150,50), "Cam orbit change")){
		    		
	var dragorbit : MonoBehaviour = camOverview.GetComponent("DragOrbit") as MonoBehaviour;
		
		dragorbit.enabled = !tbddragorbit.enabled;   //switches script on and off
		Debug.Log(tbddragorbit.);	// returns Main Camera (DragOrbit)
	}

this script works and manages to switch the script off and on but i cant get it to access the target or distance variables which are in the dragorbit script by using

dragorbit.target = 60;

i get an error message saying

'target' is not a member of 'UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour'

i have tried to set the type of the component variable to itself

var dragorbit : DragOrbit = camOverview.GetComponent("DragOrbit") as DragOrbit;

but then i get this error

BCE0018: The name 'DragOrbit' does not denote a valid type ('not found').

Would really appreciate any help on this.

You declared the dragorbit object as “MonoBehaviour”, but you try to access a variable that is part of the “DragOrbit” class instead. When you use typed variables, the compiler will check methods and variables against the declared type, not the actual runtime type.

change:

var dragorbit : MonoBehaviour

to

var dragorbit : DragOrbit 

and you will have more luck.

CS and JS scripts can’t see each other at compile time because the compilers are different, but you can work around this placing your scripts in a folder outside Standard Assets: Standard Assets scripts are compiled first, what make their CIL code available to scripts of any language compiled in subsequent “waves” (the scripts outside Standard Assets are compiled last - read this doc).

If you still get this error after making your scripts compile last, try to comment out the pragma strict line - maybe some 3.5 bug in pragma strict is causing the problem.

NOTE: It’s better to use the typed version of GetComponent - it’s faster and returns the desired type:

var dragorbit : DragOrbit = camOverview.GetComponent(DragOrbit);
