Very Basic C#-Javascript Question

Unity Engine
1

How do I refer to a variable in a JS script from a C# script? I can get every other combination to work—C# variable from JS script, between two JS scripts, between two C# scripts. I really don’t know C#.

What do u mean?(:

3

i actually know what u mean :smile: -srry, i cant help i guess (: -ill give it at try :d

4

-isnt it just using the “Public”?

5

What data type is the variable in the JS script? and is that variable a static? Could we get some code sample to -see- what your trying to do…

What the? There’s an edit button for posts…

Those are the same search results I found, but none answered my question.

Here’s a sample to illustrate what I’m talking about. All three scripts are attached to the same game object. The scripts Common and Main are in a Scripts folder, the script InputDelegate is in the PlugIns folder.

// JS script - Common.js

static var psv: float;

InputDelegate.clickTime += 1.0; // this works

// JS script - Main.js

Common.psv += 0.1; // this works

// C# script - InputDelegate.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class InputDelegate: MonoBehaviour  {

	public static float clickTime;

	void Start () {
		Common.psv += 0.1;  // this doesn't work, The name `Common' does not exist in the current context
	}
}

I need to set the variable psv in the JS script Common.js from the C# script InputDelegate.cs.

I found this in another thread:

Is that true? Does it mean I can’t access a JS variable from C#? This is an iPad app I’m talking about here, in case that’s relevant.

It’s not true. Unity - Scripting API: (section 3).

OK. But that confuses things even more for me. Sounds like you can have a JS script that references a C# script or vice versa, but not both, since each would need to be compiled before the other. Is THIS the reason my C# script doesn’t work and my JS script does?

Yes.
