Using a function in another scrip to add force

Unity Engine

Hi there, I’m trying to use a hovering function I’ve made in another script on this object, when I try to use it, I get the error “An object reference is required for the non-static field, method or property”.

The function:

   private Vector3 AbsoluteUp = new Vector3 (0f, 1f, 0f);


    public void HoverFunction(Rigidbody ThisRB, Vector3 position,float HoverHeight, float Sensitivity, float MaxThrust)
    {
        Ray HeightMeasure = new Ray(position, -AbsoluteUp);
        RaycastHit hit;
        float mass = ThisRB.mass;

        if (Physics.Raycast(HeightMeasure, out hit))
        {
            if (hit.distance < HoverHeight)
            {
               
                float HeightDelta = HoverHeight - hit.distance;
                float HoverForce = (HeightDelta / (Mathf.Sqrt(Mathf.Pow(HoverHeight, 2) + Sensitivity * MaxThrust * mass)));
                Vector3 HoverForceV3 = new Vector3(0, HoverForce, 0);
                ThisRB.AddForceAtPosition(HoverForceV3, position);
            }
        }
    }

Trying to use it:

        Vector3 position = transform.position;

        NewFunctionsTest.HoverFunction(rb, position, 5f, 3f, 15f);

Variable rb was defined as the current components rigidbody (which it has). Excluded for brevity. I’m quite new to Unity so feeling a bit lost!

Are you sure that you have assigned the “NewFunctionsTest” in the inspector (or via script)?

You just need to mark HoverFunction as a static method.

public static void HoverFunction...
