Null Reference calling int from another script

Scripting
1

Hi Folks,

Please can you take a look at my code and tell me what im missing please? I am trying to call an object from another script but it returns null ref.

Scrip1 that holds public int.

public class PointsScript : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public int point  = 2;
    }

Script2 trying to call the int.

public class Controller : MonoBehaviour
{
   void Start(){
    pointsScript = GameObject.Find("PointScript").GetComponent<PointScript>();
}

void Scoring(){
scoreBoard.text = pointScript.point.ToString();
}

Thanks

That means that either GameObject.Find didn’t find anything or GetComponent didn’t find anything, depending on which line the error is occuring. Check your spelling, maybe? I notice that in your listings, sometimes you are writing 'PointScript" and sometimes you are writing “PointsScript”

yeah it wasn’t finding the object but it was a odd one as i restarted unity and it found it. Thanks for help.
