Hey I tried to get an int from another script but there is an error! Please help :)

Scripting
1

Hey the error is in line #27.
Error:
error CS0246: The type or namespace name `playerScript’ could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Please help me and I would be very happy if if someone could repair the error and send the script back.
Thanks for every answer.
btw. sorry for bad grammar because I am german.

Do you have a class called playerScript?
(BTW, if yes, class should start with an uppercase)

3

no but I have a class called Player and if I change the “playerScript” in the script (line 27) to player - still the same error

4

Did you pay attention to capital letter?

5

I tried both with uppercase and lowercase letters

6

One question, how much did you use C# before attemting unity?

7

i didnt :smile:

Then go ahead and learn it, you really shouldn’t start with unity.
