Is (bool example) true?

Unity Engine

Is it possible to know whether the bool example is true from another script and if so how.

public void Active (bool example)
{
}

Thankyou.

You can only know it, if you assign the boolean value from example to an instance or static variable, meaning one that is preserved in the script.

Here is a short example to preserve the variable, that it can be accessed from other scripts:

public class X {
    public bool preservedExample;

    public void Active (bool example) {
        preservedExample = example;
    }
}

There are other ways, like using properties which would allow you to make it read only, by not declaring the setter, or you may just make it available through a method call.

Im having trouble on my second script calling the bool preservedExample. Im obliviously not going about it in the right manner. Could you guide me strait.

public class SecondScript{
      
        public x Active;
      
        public void AreYouActive()
        {
            if (Active.preservedExample == true)
            {
                //Do somthing
            }
          
        }
    }

Thankyou

I would recommend you to read C# naming conventions:
http://www.dofactory.com/reference/csharp-coding-standards

Other than misleading variable and class naming, code should compile correctly I guess. If you’re asking how to improve code visually, you could try:

public class SecondScript : MonoBehaviour
{    
        public FirstScript target;
     
#region Script Lifecycle

        void Start()
        {

        }

        void Update()
        {

        }

        void OnDestroy()
        {

        }

#endregion

#region Functions

        public void PerformAction()
        {
              if ( target == null || !target.preservedExample )
                   return;
             
              // Do something
        }

#endregion

}

Hope it helps!

That definitely helps. I will wholeheartedly agree that my naming conventions are terrible so thank you very much for that link Bookmarked.
