public class CreditsButton : MonoBehaviour

    public GameObject[] mainMenu;
    public GameObject[] credits;

        settingsButton = GameObject.Find("Settings");
        settingsScript = settingsButton.GetComponent<SettingsButton>();
        mainMenu = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("MainMenuTag");
        settingsScript.mainMenuRef = mainMenu;
        credits = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("CreditsTag");
        foreach(GameObject credit in credits)
        {
            credit.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
...

public class SettingsButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    public GameObject newGameButton;
   
    public Image newGameButtonSprite;
   
    public static GameObject[] mainMenuRef;
    public GameObject[] settings;
   
    void Start()
    {
        newGameButtonSprite = newGameButton.GetComponent<Image>();
        settings = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("SettingsTag");
        foreach(GameObject setting in settings)
        {
            setting.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
...

How can I do it like I want to?

mainMenuRef is static, so you can’t access it through an instance. I don’t know if you really intend for it to be static, but either remove the static or access it like this

SettingsButton.mainMenuRef = mainMenu;

mine says: Assets\Scripts\PlayerMovement.cs(23,22): error CS0176: Member ‘Physics.CheckSphere(Vector3, float, int)’ cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead

Maybe you should try Physics.CheckSphere instead?

What is this for exactly?

That’s fine but please create your own threads and not hijack an existing (old) thread just because it has the same compilation error. These kinds of errors are from you typing stuff that isn’t correct, it’s not the SAME problem.

Also, always use code-tags when posting code.

Thanks.

Please do not hijack threads and try to read the Community Code of Conduct before proceeding. If you are going to hijack a thread then please read what the thread is about. This thread is marked as resolved and even describes what the problem is which is your understanding of Static members.

Please create your own threads and always post code using code-tags and not plain text.
