I tried multiple times, with GetComponet and public calling said script, but i cannot access the public bools from this other scripts
Perhaps share your code and somebody can help.
There are a few ways to check variables “across” scripts. You can use public variables:
public bool SomePublicBoolean = false;
Or you could have Getter/Setter style methods maybe:
private bool somePrivateBoolean = true;
public bool GetSomeBoolean()
{
return somePrivateBoolean;
}
And from another script you “get” that back from the other script, by accessing it like this:
localBoolean = SomeOtherScript.SomePublicBoolean;
otherLocalBoolean = SomeOtherScript.GetSomeBoolean();
And these are only just a couple simple ways, there are other ways too. If I knew what your code looked like maybe I could help more.
If your having problems with having a reference to that other script, you could try a quick dirty fix, which I can’t recommend for any serious use setup like this… and should only be used with scripts that are used as singletons, where there is only a single one of those scripts ever active at once (like a manager object, rather than a script that is attached to every enemy or something)
But anyway if you create a static instance of a script like this:
public static SomeScriptName Instance;
void Awake()
{
Instance = this;
}
Then you can later access that script from other scripts, by doing this:
someLocalBoolean = SomeScriptName.Instance.GetSomeBoolean();
Andddddd… if you need to have many scripts attached to many objects, then perhaps you should consider something else to access them, like worst case scenario is to use getcomponent a lot, because it can be slow when used frequently. A better solution would be some kind of manager that keeps a reference to all the “many scripts” from one script, and you use it sort of as a message center to communicate from all scripts to the “master” script.
Hope that helps! Good luck!

This is the two codes that i am working in, but i cannot get the public bools from the PayerMovement.cs

Your SetInitialReferences doesn’t really do anything…It creates a method variable which means it can’t be used outside that method. Within that method, you should be able to access playerMovement.a_HorizontalMovement. If you plan to access it outside of that method, you’ll need the PlayerMovement playerMovement to be global.

Here is an Example of setting a bool from another script that has been added to a gameobject to true:
public GameObject myobject;
void Start()
{
myobject.GetComponent<myscript>().mybool = true;
}
Here is a link that may help with that movement system of yours. Using input for every single command key will make your script inaccurate and long, you could do something like this:
