{

   public bool shooting = false;
   Animator anim;

   void Start () {
	anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
   }

   // Update is called once per frame
   void Update () {
	if (Move.shoot == true){
		anim.SetBool("Shoot", true);

This is all very basic programming and Unity stuff. You would’ve found the answer easily with Google or Answers search

Unless move is declared a static variable, you can’t reference is through the Class name.
You have to reference it through the object instance where the variable is located.

Imagine that you had put the Move script on many GameObjects. If you write Move.shoot, how would the compiler know which of those objects you want to check shoot on ?

You have to get the Move instance from the GameObject you want to check first
If the script is on the same gameobject as SniperAnimControl you can do

Move myMover;
Start()
{
    myMover  = getComponent<Move>();
}
...
if (myMover.shoot) {...

If Move is on another GameObject, you have to find it first

Move myMover;
 Start()
 {
    GameObject moveObject = GameObject.Find("NameOfGameObject");
     myMover  = moveObject.getComponent<Move>();
 }

Thanks, i didnt declare Move.shoot as static variable so it was the fail. :slight_smile:
