Dynamic variable name c#

Questions & Answers

Hey all

I have a it of an issue with a couple of my scripts

What I need is a script with my variables which are static, and a second generic script to access them

The generic script has to be universal so I can attach to various objects and access different variables from script 1

Example: script1 has 3 variables

public static float var1 = 1;
public static float var2 = 2;
public static float var3 = 3;

Script2 access one of those variable

string dynVar;
void Start ()
{
float x = script1.var2;
}

Now I know that code won’t work as its just as an example

I want to be able to change the name of the variable in the inspector

Hope this makes sense, also if it makes a difference its planned for mobile device

Probably you might need to have a look at System.Reflection namespace. With this you can read the fields and properties of the class. Parametrized the variable name in the inspector and get the relevant field using reflection.

It is a possiblility, but if it is also possible for you, you can use Enums to access the other/remaining variables of Script1 based on different enum values.

If you keep things simple, it is easy to troubleshoot the problems.
