How can I access another class's (public) variable?
I'm trying to use the IsBeingPlaced bool from the HoloToolkit's TapToPlace script in a separate class so I can track the placement of several objects, but I don't know how to access the bool attached to each individual object's TapToPlace.
Each object in my scene individually implements the TapToPlace script, but they share the same parent which implements my own script to add other functions. Is there a way to access the bool of each individual object in the parent's script, or perhaps another way I can achieve the same effect of tracking each object's placement? I'm still pretty new to C# and Unity so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

Hey,
You can get your public bool using this code in your parent script(not tested, but the idea is there), in a loop to get all children:
bool isBeingPlaced = this.gameObject.transform.GetChild("index of your child").gameObject.GetComponent<"Your script">().IsBeingPlaced;1

That did the trick, thanks!
