Time for action – communicating with another Component on the Main Camera

Let's create another script with a variable and a method, and attach it to the Main Camera, then have LearningScript communicate with it:

1. In Unity, create another C# Script and name it TalkToMe.

2. Make a public string variable named hereItIs.

3. Assign some text to hereItIs.

4. Make a public method named MakeMeTalk().

5. Have MakeMeTalk() output some text to the Console.

6. Attach MakeMeTalk() to the Main Camera. Now the code should look something like this:

   

7. Modify LearningScript to retrieve the TalkToMe Component.

8. Modify LearningScript to retrieve the data in hereItIs.

9. Modify LearningScript to call the MakeMeTalk() method. Now the code snippet should look as follows:

   

10. Save your scripts.

11. Click on Play in Unity.

What just happened?

Here's the output:

The LearningScript Component code retrieved a variable and called a method on the TalkToMe Component. Let's follow the code flow with these two Components.

An analysis of the code shown in the previous...
